It wasn’t supposed to end this way.
This was supposed to be the year.
But Patrick Mahomes is inevitable.
The San Francisco 49ers were again denied on the quest for six after being handed another Super Bowl loss by the Kansas City Chiefs, this time falling short in overtime 25-22.
There’s an argument to be made that the 49ers were the better team for four of the five quarters, and even that wasn’t enough to defeat the NFL’s newest dynasty. The Chiefs showed the 49ers the difference between a team that’s gotten close four times over the last five years and a team that’s won a championship for the third time in five seasons.
