First Quarter Score: San Francisco 0, Kansas City 0

No points were scored in the first quarter of Super Bowl 58 between the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs.

Neither team scored on their first two drives of the contest inside Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. San Francisco got into Chiefs territory on its third series that extended into the second quarter.

San Francisco started strong with 48 yards on five plays, but it was derailed by a rare Christian McCaffrey fumble.

Leo Chenal knocked the ball out of McCaffrey's hands on the San Francisco star's second rush of the game. The 49ers found success across the middle on that drive behind an 18-yard catch by fullback Kyle Juszczyk.

The unsung heroes of the 49ers offense shined on their other two series. Chris Conley and Ray-Ray McCloud had receptions of 18 and 19 yards on the third 49ers drive, which extended into the second quarter.

Kansas City failed to achieve much success on its first two series against the San Francisco defense.

The Chiefs did not earn a first down on their opening series and punted on the fourth play of their second series.

San Francisco let up a 10-yard run to Isiah Pacheco but then shut down the Chiefs by way of a Chase Young sack.

The 49ers outgained the Chiefs 125-16 and ran 17 plays compared to seven by the Chiefs and Brock Purdy holds a significant edge in the passing game with 105 yards compared to five from two-time Super Bowl Most Valuable Player Patrick Mahomes.
