having a lead in OT of the super bowl and still losing is a backbreaker

Just heard a clip of Shanahan saying they took possession because their strategy was predicated on having the 3rd possession

Simply breathtaking

it's a legit consideration though, it's basically a delayed version of winning the coin toss by the old sudden death OT rules. Probably doesn't outweigh giving Mahomes the ball with the extra information but I don't think it's an immediate no-brainer.

Thing is if the 49ers scored a TD, the Chiefs planned to go for 2. There wasn't gonna be a third possession either way.

The third possession happens when KC gets held to 3, and the Niners get the ball back to win with a FG.
