Rookies in italics After an opening day win over the New Orleans Saints, the Chiefs faced the San Francisco 49ers on September 11.
Facing his old team, Joe Montana led the Chiefs to a 24–17 win at Arrowhead.
For the game, Montana hit 34 of 54 pass attempts for 393 yards and 3 touchdowns and the Chiefs, now 4–2, had now thrust themselves back into the playoff hunt.
Lin Elliott's field goal with 4:08 left in the game temporarily put the Chiefs ahead 24–21.
A Marcus Allen fumble set up the Broncos' final touchdown, but Montana and his inspiring confidence resulted in the comeback.
The defense showed flashes of brilliance as it improved to seventh in fewest points allowed from 1993's ninth, and as had become the standard, was led by perennial Pro Bowlers Derrick Thomas and Neil Smith.
Defensive back Dale Carter had a superb year and was also chosen for the Pro Bowl.
