49ers players say they didn't know Super Bowl overtime rules
How is this even possible?
https://abcnews.go.com/Sports/49ers-...20Super%20Bowl. 49ers players say they didn't know Super Bowl overtime rules Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs capitalized on the NFL's postseason overtime rules to once again beat the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl. While several Chiefs players and coaches said they had a prepared strategy in the event that the Super Bowl went to overtime, multiple 49ers players admitted they were not even aware of the rules. "I didn't even know about the new playoff overtime rule, so it was a surprise to me," Niners defensive lineman Arik Armstead said. "I didn't even really know what was going on in terms of that." Sunday night's game was the second of 58 Super Bowls to be tied after regulation. It was the first played under new overtime rules that ensure both teams get a chance to possess the ball before the game ends -- unless the first drive in OT ends with a safety. This differs from the rules governing overtime in the regular season, where the game ends if the first team to possess the ball scores a touchdown. After winning the overtime coin toss Sunday, the 49ers elected to receive the ball to start the extra period. But their 13-play drive ended with Jake Moody's 27-yard field goal and set the stage for Mahomes, who orchestrated his own 13-play drive punctuated by a game-winning 3-yard touchdown pass to Mecole Hardman that sealed the Chiefs' 25-22 victory. Niners coach Kyle Shanahan said he and his analytics staff discussed overtime possibilities before the game, but Armstead and fullback Kyle Juszczyk both said that overtime strategy was not discussed with 49ers players leading up to the Super Bowl. "You know what? I didn't even realize the playoff rules were different in overtime," Juszczyk said. "I assume you just want the ball to score a touchdown and win. "I guess that's not the case. I don't totally know the strategy there. We hadn't talked about it, no." |

Chiefs players kept saying after the game that coaches kept coming up to them telling them about how OT works after practices and stuff to prepare them for this situation so they would be prepared and calm. Very well coached team.

Ratboy Jr.’s supposed “logic” that he wanted a second possession after both teams would have scored… is just wrong.

I'd have sworn that was on McKivitz. That looks for all the world like McKivitz was supposed to push Jones inside from the RT spot and leave that easy outside pitch/catch. On a quick play like that you're just not all that worried about edge pressure - you'd expect the TE can handle Karlaftis enough to give you the time you need. Then the RT pushes Jones into the interior where the RG can clean him up. I know Buford seemed to fall on the grenade there but that just does not look like that's how that protection is drawn up.

Maybe the refs should announce the rules to the entire stadium at the start of OT. That would help right?

Since the 49rs kicked a FG I don't understand the issue.

There really isn’t one. The Niner players not knowing the rules had no real bearing on anything. If anything, it may speak to a lack of attention to detail and that overall could have had an effect. To what extent we’ll never know.
As for deciding to take the ball, I get the Niners thinking but I would never willingly give Mahomes 4 downs to work with, which in essence is what they did by opting to get the ball first. |
