49ers players confess lack of knowledge about overtime rules in Super Bowl defeat against Chiefs
San Francisco’s decision to take the ball first in overtime during their Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs is being debated, especially after some 49ers players revealed they were unaware of new playoff overtime rules. The new rules stipulate that possession is no longer decided by the first touchdown scored; both teams now have a chance to possess the ball. The 49ers kicked a field goal in their possession and lost when the Chiefs scored a touchdown. Some players admitted they didn’t know about the rule changes, while the Chiefs were prepared for it, indicating the possible disadvantage of not being aware of the rule.
