The San Francisco 49ers had several moments to pull away in Super Bowl 58 but ultimately couldn’t get the job done as Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs scored the game-winning touchdown to seal their second-straight victory on the final stage and the team’s third over the past five years.
Many pointed to the 49ers’ opportunities offensively, as the 49ers had key third downs on both of their final possessions that they couldn’t convert, leading to field goal opportunities, which the Chiefs were able to respond to.
A key miss came on 3rd & 4 at the Kansas City 9-yard line, where quarterback Brock Purdy appeared to be targeting wideout Jauan Jennings, who was getting open on a whip-return route.
