CNN —
The outcome of Super Bowl LVIII was quite close. The Kansas City Chiefs and the San Francisco 49ers couldn’t be separated after sixty minutes of play, thus overtime was used to decide the winner of the Super Bowl.

Although it’s great to look back, after San Francisco’s loss, the 49ers’ choice to start the overtime period on the offensive has come under attack.

After winning the coin toss, the 49ers decided to take the field first. They converted it into a field goal.

The Kansas City Chiefs were next in line. Following a 14-play, 75-yard drive, Patrick Mahomes and Mecole Hardman connected for a three-yard touchdown throw to seal the Chiefs’ victory and their third Super Bowl in five years.

While San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan said that he had addressed with his analytics team the possibility of an overtime coin flip scenario prior to Super Bowl LVIII, several 49ers players have acknowledged that they were unaware that the overtime regulations had altered for postseason games.


In the past, a score on the first drive in overtime might win the game for whichever side had the first possession. But according to the new regulation, each team is assured of at least one possession.

“What do you know? In overtime, I had no idea that the playoff rules were different,” 49ers full back Kyle Juszczyk said to reporters. I’m assuming that all you want is for the ball to go for a touchdown and win.
