Preview
Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith returns to face his former team, the San Francisco 49ers.
Smith was the quarterback for the 49ers before sustaining an injury. During the injury, he was replaced by Colin Kaepernick, and after Kaepernick caught the NFL by storm, the 49ers decided to keep the former backup and part ways with Smith.
