49ers' Kyle Shanahan picks up coach of the year award in Kansas City

Kyle Shanahan was presented with an award Saturday night.

But -- and this is not the punchline to an insensitive joke -- he had to travel to Kansas City to pick it up.

With the painful loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIV still fresh in his memory, Shanahan was honored as the NFC Coach of the Year by the Kansas City-based Committee of 101.

While in Kansas City, of course, he was asked about his team letting a 10-point fourth-quarter lead get away in a 31-20 loss to the Chiefs in Miami.
