Tyrann Mathieu Calls Out Undefeated 49ers on Twitter for Having an Easy Schedule
By Scott Rogust
The San Francisco 49ers entered Thursday night with a perfect 7-0 record. Plenty of their success can be attributed to their rushing attack, but more importantly, their dominant defense.
The 49ers defense had limited opposing quarterbacks to under 100 passing yards in their past four games. Hall of Fame executive Gil Brandt tweeted on Thursday that if San Francisco limited Arizona Cardinals rookie quarterback Kyler Murray, they'd be the fifth team in history to hold signal callers to under 100 yards in five consecutive games.
49ers tonight can become 5th team in Super Bowl era to limit opponents to 100 or fewer passing yards in 5 straight games, and first in last 46 years:

Kansas City Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu stumbled across this tweet, and asked a rather straightforward question, clearly not impressed with the Niners success thus far.
Who the hell they been playing against?

Well, we suppose it's fair to be skeptical. Six of the Niners' eight opponents have sub-.500 records, including the winless Bengals, 1-7 Redskins, and 2-5 Buccaneers and Browns.
Not exactly a murderer's row of opponents.
Mathieu didn't hold back when questioning whether or not the Niners are legit, but the Chiefs won't have the chance to take on San Francisco this season, unless both teams make the Super Bowl.
