Except the Chiefs said they were going for 2 if the 49ers scored a TD and the Chiefs answered with a TD.
Which makes sense. You go for 2 to win the game with Mahomes. Otherwise, you're putting an even more tired defense back on the field.
The scenario Shanahan describes was never going to happen anyway.
That said, it's the first ever NFL game under these new rules. Not much precedent outside of college football for how to strategize.
