So for risk reward, here's a question. In the second half, why even bother sending a punt team back? You aren't going to get a big return, it seems like the risk is a punter kicking it to bounce to the 1, vs a fumble.

because you might get a big return

You could also just block the punt. This is for teams trying to protect a lead like the 49ers where that fumble changed all momentum.

Chiefs Defense, take a bow! What a masterpiece of a playoff run. Shut down the 70-point Tua Dolphins, kept Josh Allen in check sorta, completely stymied the "MVP" in his house, and put the All-Pro littered Shanahan offense in a blender.

Spagnuolo best DC in the league. What adjustments. What blitzes. Fearless Cover 0 pressure in key 3rd downs in the SUPER BOWL.

L'Jarius Sneed and Trent McDuffie. What absolute studs. What dogs! Has there been a better CB duo in recorded human history?

Chris Jones. What a prime stud. One of the most legendary Chiefs of my lifetime. Serving up Trent Williams flapjacks!

The linebackers known as Nick Bolton, Leo Chanel, Willie Gay, Drue Tranquill. 4 absolute studs. Prime and elite. Leo Chanel had an incredible Super Bowl.

The man known as Furious George Karlaftis. A top 10 pass rusher already? 2 Super Bowl rings already? What a first round KC had picking up him and Stud Trent McDuffie.

The rest of the secondary.......Justin Reid, Chamarri Conner, Justin Watson, Mike Edwards, Joshua Williams. Great job. Wonderful performance. Studs all around.

It should go to Spags since no one defender was especially dominant. But Mahomes does deserve it. That last drive in OT to get the TD was pure willpower by him, a classic finish. 330 yards passing and like 70 yards rushing.

In the first half there was a bit where I thought we were going to get a sickos Superbowl with a total score under 10 pts.

It swung way the other way late in the game.

Don't know why, but it *just* hit me that the super bowl overtime rules were different, where even if SF scored a touchdown on that overtime possession, it wouldn't end the game.

Basically swung my logic, don't really have a problem with Shanahan kicking the field goal. Defense just didn't make a stop and rip

I actually just realized that SF screwed up by receiving first because of this. If they kicked and KC gets a TD, at least now you know you have to get a TD too.

The rules in the playoffs were always a little different than the regular season, in that they cannot end in a tie. The only real change this year is that a TD on the first drive didn't end the game anymore. They didn't want this to happen again.

Chiefs would have won with the old ot rules too, just not the older ot rules.

Chiefs win with any post 2011 OT rules. That's the first year they made it so both teams are guaranteed a possession unless the first team scores a TD. That base rule is still in play for the regular season but not in the playoffs.

Prior to 2011, 49ers win on the first possession field goal.

This reminds me of Donovan McNabb not realizing that you could tie in the regular season in OT until a game ended like that while he was on offense.

Next year I hope they change the rules back and a team runs out of time thinking it was this year's rules.

It would be the greatest moment of clown ball.

Wasn't it an OT loss by the Chiefs to the Patriots a couple years ago that finally spurred that rule change? I remember watching some playoff game in a bar in 2018(?) where Pats/Chiefs went to OT. I turned around to talk to someone and when I turned back around the game was over because Pats got the ball and just ran it in on like the second play and ended the game.

No, that did happen. But then in the offseason the Chiefs proposed a rule change to allow both teams to possess in OT and it got voted down.

The following year the Bills didn’t get a chance to touch it in OT in the divisional round and the rule was changed that offseason.

The only good justification for the 49ers receiving there is that their defense had just been on the field for a drive and were clearly pretty gassed

Eh, the 49ers D was beyond gassed and had literally just given up the game tying FG to go to OT, so I can see choosing to receive if only to buy your D a breather.
