They were exhausted. You could see it on their faces. He and Bosa were going all out on every snap.
That's another thing with Defo: he's never hurt. He's always available.
I was surprised at how little Ford, Buckner, Armstead, and Bosa were on the field together early in the game. It seemed like the game-plan was to rotate and keep people fresh
That was totally the gameplan. 49ers D knew they were going to limit chunk plays so they were going to force KC to go on 10 play drives, which is exactly what happened. So if the defense is forcing the offense to go on long drives, that DL rotation better be rotating.
When Reid saw them getting a break in the 4th he went no huddle to keep them out of the game. We should have called a timeout to stop the momentum.
