Tutan Reyes Says Chiefs Need to Replicate Gameplan Against Ravens to Win the Super
The Kansas City Chiefs have a recipe on hand to beat the San Francisco 49ers this Sunday, and it has everything to do with how they beat the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship.
The Chiefs were able to hold the Ravens to 81 yards rushing, which is astounding given the rushing attack that Baltimore possessed all year. Tutan Reyes and Takeo Spikes discuss the run game for both teams on Behind the Mask, and how the Chiefs need to replicate their success against the Ravens to win the Super Bowl.
"You talk about the running game and I think that's dope bro. But here's the thing. I think Chris McCaffrey's going to get his he's just, you know, a talent like no other. We had him for Offensive Player of the Year with the BTM team awards a few episodes ago. And if the Chiefs' defense can hold the 49ers offense to anything near what they did against the Ravens and in the AFC Championship. The Ravens only had 81 yards on the ground total rushing."

The Chiefs were able to do what most teams couldn't do against the Ravens. That includes the 49ers, who were embarrassed by Baltimore.
The Ravens run game was one of the best all season, but the Chiefs found a way to hinder that completely, taking away a huge element of the offensive power that Baltimore possessed.
The same can happen for the 49ers. If the Chiefs can stop Christian McCaffrey and the design play runs for Deebo Samuel, they might be walking away with a third Lombardi Trophy in the last five years.
