The San Francisco 49ers wrapped up a bit win on Sunday, improving to 3-2 as they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs 22-17. The 49ers will head off to face the St. Louis Rams on Monday Night Football next week. We'll have plenty on that game, but here is a look at some stats and notable numbers from the Week 5 win.
My favorite stat from the day was that the 49ers only had 2 penalties for 10 yards. They were with a crew that has not called a lot of penalties to date, but even still, it was good to see the 49ers clean things up a bit.
With the Win...
- The 49ers improved to 21-5-1 at home in the regular season under head coach Jim Harbaugh.
- The 49ers improved to 7-5 against the Kansas City Chiefs all-time, including five consecutive victories at home.
- The 49ers improved to 1-0 against the Kansas City Chiefs under head coach Jim Harbaugh.
- The 49ers improved to 1-0 against the AFC West since 2011.
- The 49ers improved to 11-2 vs. the AFC since 2011. Their .846 winning pct. vs. non-conference opponents over that timespan is the highest in the NFL.
- The 49ers improved to 13-0 when RB Frank Gore rushes for 100 or more yds. under head coach Jim Harbaugh.
- The 49ers improved to 17-1 when QB Colin Kaepernick records a passer rating of 90.0 or higher.
Hold It Tight
- The 49ers offense did not commit a turnover against the Chiefs, marking the 3rd game this season in which the team hasn't committed a turnover [at Dal. (9/7) and at Arz. (9/21)]. The +1 turnover differential on the day marked the 4th game this season in which the team has won the turnover battle [+4 at Dal. (9/7); +1 at Arz. (9/21); +3 vs. Phi. (9/28)].
- The 49ers improved to 30-4-1 under head coach Jim Harbaugh, and 3-1 this season, when winning the turnover battle.
Through the Uprights

- Dawson's 5 made FGs are tied for the 2nd most he's made in a single game in his career [6 of 6 at SD (11/5/06); 5 of 5 at Hou. (1/2/05); 5 of 5 at Buf. (11/17/08); 5 of 5 vs. Bal. (11/4/12)].
- It marked the 4th time in his career Dawson has made two or more FGs of 50+ yds. in a game and the first time since 2012, as a member of the Cleveland Browns [at Bal. (9/27/12) - 51, 50 and 52; at Hou. (11/6/11) - 50 and 51; vs. Sea. (10/23/11) - 52 and 53].

Sealing The Deal
- CB Perrish Cox registered an INT of Chiefs QB Alex Smith with 2:00 remaining in the game to seal the win for the 49ers. It marked his 3rd INT of the season and his 2nd consecutive game with a victory-sealing INT on the opponent's final possession.
Knock It Out
- DT Justin Smith registered his 2nd FF of the season and 10th of his career, stripping the ball from Chiefs RB Jamaal Charles.
Sneak Attack
