"49ers' Overtime Blunders: A Super Bowl Surprise"
TL;DR Summary
After the 49ers chose to receive the ball in overtime, Chiefs' Chris Jones criticized the decision, calling it "crazy" due to the changed overtime rules. The decision to take the ball can't fully be made until it's time to make it, and the presence of Patrick Mahomes as the Chiefs' quarterback added complexity to the situation. Ultimately, the game became a field-goal battle, and giving the ball to Mahomes first might have made more sense.
