Chiefs come back to hand 49ers crushing Super Bowl loss

MIAMI — The 49ers choked. No nice way to put it.

They had a 10-point lead with 6:23 left in the fourth quarter of Super Bowl LIV and collapsed, lost 31-20 to the Chiefs. Controlled the game for 54 minutes and still lost by 11 points.

What a brutal way to end a magical season in which the 49ers never lost by more than three points until the Super Bowl.

They choked.

“They were better than us today,” head coach Kyle Shanahan said of the Chiefs.

Except, the Chiefs weren’t better than the 49ers Sunday night. The 49ers beat themselves. They averaged a whopping 6.4 yards per carry, and still lost. Intercepted Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes twice, and still lost.

  1. Such a disappointing loss. The defense played well for 3 and a bit quarters so hard to put too much blame on them but on that key chiefs drive they gave up 2 third and longs and cover 1 was a strange call by salah on at least one of those

    I don’t blame garapollo too much. First interception wasn’t like he misread the defense. He was trying to throw the ball away but got hit as he threw and couldn’t get it out of bounds. Should have just take the sack but easy to say with hindsight. The second interception was just because we were desperate at that point to score. How did our offense go from continuously moving the chains to getting stuffed. Where were all these amazing plays KS had kept in his bag for this game? Hard to say without analysing the film but I’m guessing the chiefs adjusted and KS was too slow to readjust? Felt like everything was forced once we had a 10 point lead and yet that should have been the perfect scenario for us to go on and win using the play action to make some big plays and kill off the game

  2. That was most the biasing refereeing i have ever seen, we lost to the refs not KC. This game is 100% proof of the NFL engineering outcomes. I just can’t give full credit for this game ever and that sucks.
