Mahomes overcomes two interceptions and leads a fourth-quarter rally as the Chiefs overcome a 10-point deficit to beat the Niners. Adam Teicher
ESPN Staff Writer
The 49ers’ long and arduous climb to get back to the top of the NFL mountain will have to wait at least another year to take the final step. They fall short in Super Bowl LIV as the Chiefs storm back from a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to win it 31-20. The Niners are well-positioned to return here next year but they will have no shortage of difficult offseason decisions to make in order to make it happen and take the next step.
In the end, Jimmy G couldn’t get it done. But the real culprit here is Kyle SHANAHAN. From being the Off. Coordinator with a 28-3 lead in 2016, then the head coach for this Super Bowl, he went away from the run & has been outscored 46-0 in both 4th QT’s & OT.#Facts

Mahomes is the fifth QB in the Super Bowl Era (since 1966) with at least 10 TD passes in a single postseason: Tom Brady (10 in 2014), Joe Flacco (11 in 2012), Kurt Warner (11 in 2008) and Joe Montana (11 in 1989) are the others.

What a time to have your 1st career INT — Tarvarius Moore. First multi-interception game for Patrick Mahomes since Week 11 of 2018 season.
Third quarter
ESPN Staff Writer
49ers left tackle Joe Staley has a hand injury and his return is questionable. Rookie Justin Skule is in for Staley. Would be a big loss if Staley is unable to return.
ESPN
Entering today, Patrick Mahomes has made 35 regular and postseason starts in his career and has never lost by more than one score. The 35 straight starts in which your team does not lose by more than one score is the second-longest streak to begin a career among QBs to debut in the Super Bowl era behind Russell Wilson at 38 straight.
Score — 49ers 20, Chiefs 10: Raheem Mostert runs it in from 1 yard out to cap a 55-yard drive following Fred Warner’s interception of Mahomes.

Second quarter
ESPN
From ESPN/NFL Next Gen Stats: Patrick Mahomes is averaging 6.2 yards per attempt against zone tonight (9-13, 81 yards). That would be the fourth-lowest in a game in his career. Mahomes averaged 9.4 yards per attempt vs zone in the regular season, third among qualified QBs. Mahomes led the NFL in pass TD (13) and Total QBR (89) when facing zone defenses this season.

First quarter
ESPN Staff Writer
Chiefs RB Damien Williams is unusually rested for a featured running back at this point in the season and it showed in the first quarter, when he gained 28 yards on five carries. Between three different injuries, Williams missed time at various points of the season, so he has little of the wear and tear he would otherwise be saddled with. The Chiefs are so comfortable with Williams they went tonight without LeSean McCoy, whose playing time had dwindled with Williams’ return as featured back.
ESPN Analytics
The Chiefs’ decision to go for it on 4th and 1 in the 1st quarter was a good one. According to ESPN’s Win Probability model, the decision improved the Chiefs’ chance of winning by 3.3% over a field goal attempt.

The big game is attracting a ton of betting action on both sides. Of the five largest wagers, three are on the Chiefs and two are on the 49ers.
ESPN Staff Writer
The 49ers inactives are quarterback C.J. Beathard, receiver Dante Pettis, cornerback Dontae Johnson, tight end Daniel Helm, wide receiver Jordan Matthews, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair and defensive tackle Kevin Givens. With running back Tevin Coleman returning from a right shoulder injury, the Niners keep some extra depth active in the form of Jeff Wilson Jr. with Pettis inactive. All four of San Francisco’s backs are active for Super Bowl LIV.
