Why 49ers HC Kyle Shanahan’s reasoning for receiving in overtime was flawed

The San Francisco 49ers suffered a tough 25-22 overtime loss at the hands of the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, marking the second time in the Kyle Shanahan era that the former lost to the latter on the final stage, going home empty.

It was the second year with the revised playoff overtime rules, but this year’s Super Bowl was the first game where they actually took place, as the 49ers and Chiefs saw themselves tied at 19 a piece at the end of regulation after the latter scored a last-second, game-tying field goal.
