The presence of the Kansas City Chiefs\u2019 superstar quarterback loomed so large on both occasions that no matter what head coach Kyle Shanahan\u2019s team said or did, they just didn\u2019t have enough to extinguish Mahomes\u2019 greatness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cThis is my second Super Bowl as a head coach, but I think when you go against guys like Tom Brady and Pat Mahomes, you better never feel comfortable with the lead,\u201d Shanahan said, visibly shaken by losing a double-digit Super Bowl lead to the Chiefs once again. \u201cThose are two of the best players to ever play the game. That\u2019s why, whether you have a lead or you\u2019re down points, it\u2019s those guys who are always in it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once again, the ascendant 28-year-old quarterback proved to be the kryptonite to Shanahan and general manager John Lynch\u2019s meticulously crafted, super-powered roster. A roster that had been rebuilt and refined at nearly every position \u2014 a glorified super-team with playmakers abound, made specially for competing in the game\u2019s biggest moments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That their 25-22 overtime loss in Super Bowl LVIII was likely their best chance yet at taking home the franchise\u2019s elusive sixth Lombardi Trophy may be what will haunt the 49ers the most for years to come. Much like its last battle with the now-dynastic Chiefs, the club had numerous opportunities to pounce on a Kansas City team that started slow out of the gates.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Chiefs had as many fumbles as they did points in the first half, but only one was recovered by San Francisco. They punted on three of their first four drives, stalled out on the 49ers\u2019 10-yard line before the first half expired and then gave the ball away again three plays into the third quarter. Tight end Travis Kelce only had one catch, a screen for one yard, through the game\u2019s first 32 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Everything about Kansas City\u2019s subpar offensive output was tilting in the 49ers\u2019 favor. But while the defense was busy keeping Andy Reid and Co. at bay, Purdy and his unit couldn\u2019t quite crack the code. An opening drive fumble by running back Christian McCaffrey \u2014 just his third in 331 carries on the year \u2014 set the tone for an evening rife with mishaps and haphazard execution. San Francisco converted on only one of its four third downs in the first half, and just three of its 12 on the game. The team\u2019s six penalties for 40 yards seemed to come at the most inopportune times, dooming drives before they started or snuffing out momentum when it was building in its favor.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhen you have an opportunity like we did to really put some points up on them and take it, you gotta take it, man. It\u2019s the Super Bowl,\u201d Purdy said. \u201cWe had opportunities to sort of lap them, get up on them, and we failed to do that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It took a Houdini-esque trick play in the second quarter to put the Niners up two scores. A pass to the left flat to Jauan Jennings was returned across the field to an awaiting McCaffrey, who used a convoy of blockers to coast his way for a 21-yard touchdown. They were winning despite their lack of sharpness, and despite a devastating injury to one of their most impactful defensive players, Dre Greenlaw, who exited the contest in the second quarter with a torn Achilles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All they needed was to regroup and refocus, just as they had done two weeks earlier in the second half of the NFC Championship game \u2014 except this time, there was no 17-point hill to climb.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instead, it was the Chiefs that found their mojo. They outlasted the 49ers by doing what they couldn\u2019t: taking advantage of miscues and all the bounces that broke their way. Like the one after a punt landed on the foot of Darrell Luter Jr., San Francisco\u2019s rookie defensive back, who was trying to clear the way for punt returner Ray-Ray McCloud. Or the one that glanced off the hands of Leo Chenal and Tershawn Wharton, stonewalling a Jake Moody extra point attempt that would have put the Niners up by more than a field goal with 11:27 to play.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it mattered most, the defending champs did all the little things to keep themselves afloat. The same couldn\u2019t be said for their challengers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What was so deflating, so irritating, about this particular loss for the 49ers was there was no obvious culprit \u2014 no one specific play, player or moment \u2014 responsible for their demise. It was an excruciatingly slow, painful death; one that dragged on for hours as they tried in vain to find that all-important knockout punch, only to watch Mahomes, Kelce and the Chiefs land a vicious uppercut at the final bell.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> defense made the stop on third and four in the red zone in overtime. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Their<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> quarterback finished the fight with a touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman 13 plays later. The 49ers couldn\u2019t get the ball in the hands of their most dynamic playmakers \u2014 Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle \u2014 enough to make a difference.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">They threw away another pristine chance at attaining football immortality.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt\u2019s really hard. I don\u2019t really know how to put it in perspective yet,\u201d said fullback Kyle Juszczyk, fighting back tears. \u201cI haven\u2019t had all the feelings of it yet. Right now, you feel numb for a little bit. You don\u2019t know what to say to your teammates other than just, you appreciate them. And you love them. You did some really good things together. You just gotta finish it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The emotional fallout from Sunday\u2019s defeat will certainly emanate throughout Santa Clara and the rest of the Bay Area for at least another offseason. Once upon a time, it was Joe Montana and Steve Young who were snatching souls from the 49ers\u2019 opponents on the game\u2019s grandest stage. Now, Mahomes has become the franchise\u2019s Grim Reaper.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With their previous Super Bowl loss, the 49ers could console themselves by doubling-down on a talented but inexperienced young core. Greenlaw, Samuel, Kittle, Fred Warner, Nick Bosa and Arik Armstead were just tasting playoff success for the first time.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, those same players aren\u2019t getting any younger. And that trophy case is still gathering dust. Thirty years\u2019 worth, to be exact.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dominic Faria is a sports media graduate student at Medill.
