Less than 3 minutes before the end of the third quarter, the Chiefs scored a touchdown after recovering a muffed punt and led the game by 13-10. As the fourth quarter got going, Kansas City held a 13-10 edge. Then, 49ers scored an exceptional touchdown, leading 16 - 13 in the mid 4th quarter.
Towards the end of the 4th quarter, it was a tie of 16-16.
