After the 49ers went up 10-0 early in Sunday night’s showdown against the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII and seeing the way their defense was playing, the storyline appeared to be heading toward Kyle Shanahan’s club spoiling Patrick Mahomes’ shot at adding a third Super Bowl victory to his resume.

Instead, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid did what Shanahan should have done. He remained patient, calculated, and that’s why Kansas City ended up being on the right end of Sunday night’s 25-22 overtime victory in Las Vegas.
