In a crushing defeat, the San Francisco 49ers fell short once again to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl, losing 25-22 in overtime to go home without a Lombardi Trophy.
In the loss, the 49ers seemed to flip their usual script in the playoffs early on, struggling to compile scores offensively despite having some promise, while locking Patrick Mahomes and Co. down defensively.
However, they couldn’t create enough of a gap between the Chiefs, who mounted a second-half comeback effort, with the game ultimately going to overtime before Kansas City beat the 49ers by scoring a touchdown, as opposed to a field goal.
