Brandon Aiyuk's acceleration and ball-tracking skills could spell trouble for Kansas City's middling safeties, but first the Niners need to keep DL Chris Jones off of Brock Purdy.
Everyone agrees that Lamar Jackson needs to be blitzed, but just how much pressure should the Chiefs bring this Sunday?
