Alas! The San Francisco 49ers have lost. In a gripping Super Bowl LVIII overtime at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, the Kansas City Chiefs clinched victory over the 49ers with a score of 25-22. This happened as Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs found Mecole Hardman for a crucial three-yard touchdown. Naturally, this overturned the 49ers’ lead established by rookie kicker Jake Moody.

This defeat prolongs the 49ers’ pursuit of Super Bowl success, continuing a series of close calls. After the game, Nick Bosa commended Dre Greenlaw for his notable performance. He was sad that his team didn’t win, but he managed to speak after the game.
