Super Bowl 2024: Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers NOW in the live ticker – 1st quarter
1st quarter The Niners get a first down via the run. Then it’s Brock Purdy’s turn: The quarterback usually has a lot of time in the pocket and finds several receivers with good throws, so it goes into the opponent’s half. But then he throws a deep ball – and on McCaffrey’s next run, the defense is on the spot. Third-and-long, also the end of the 1st quarter.
1st quarter The Niners defense took the criticism after the game against the Lions to heart. Pacheco gets a first down, then Mahomes is sacked, the next screen pass yields nothing. On third down, Mahomes has to escape again. Kansas City’s second punt, but it still goes to the opposing 17-yard line. Just under four minutes left in the first half of the game.
1st Quarter The Niners get a first down, but lose yards on a screen pass to Deebo Samuel. Two flags against left tackle Trent Williams force them back a long way, and they can’t get those yards back. The next punt.
1st quarter The 49ers defense holds! They stifled Isiah Pacheco’s first run, as well as a screen pass to Travis Kelce. On third-and-long, a pass from Mahomes to Jerick McKinnon doesn’t reach the yellow line. The Chiefs have to punt. By the way, wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who hasn’t had a good season, is inactive for the Chiefs.
1st Quarter Here we go! Harrison Butker hits the kickoff into the opposing end zone. The Niners start at their own 25-yard line. The offense works as expected, with several first downs by running back Christian McCaffrey, and Purdy also completes his passes. But during another run, “CMC” fumbles at the opposing 27-yard line, George Karlaftis wins the ball for the Chiefs! Big play and the first ball loss of the game.
