Patrick Mahomes runs for 19 yards on a game-winning drive against the 49ers for Kansas City in Super Bowl LVIII in Las Vegas.SANTA CLARA — Coach Kyle Shanahan conceded Wednesday there’s a certain amount of post traumatic stress that comes with reviewing the game film of last Feb. 11 in Las Vegas, but it was a necessary step for the 49ers to go back in time and review how and why they lost 25-22 in overtime in Super Bowl LVIII.
And while the 49ers are viewing the loss critically in its totality, they’ll never forget the fleeting moment when they were one outstanding defensive play away from leaving Allegiant Field with their first Super Bowl championship since the 1994 season.The 49ers, after stalling at the 9-yard line, settled for a 27-yard field goal by Jake Moody to take a 22-19 lead.
“You want to be great in those critical situations to ultimately win the game, but there are little plays throughout the entire game you could have said, `Aw, that was the one. That could have won it,’ ” Warner said. “You’ve got to look at all of ’em.”“Yeah, that was tough because we have calls that can negate that,” Bosa said. “They ran the zone read a few times and we didn’t find an answer to it.
“There are other plays that are worse, but that’s your opportunity,” Shanahan said. “You get a stop for one yard and it’s over and you know you’re Super Bowl champs. It’s hard when it comes to that.” Shanahan said everyone was excited to see Pearsall practice Monday and then break down the team huddle, when he was “out of breath” having to talk right after a two-minute drill.Running back Jordan Mason and wide receiver Deebo Samuel were limited and wearing blue non-contact jerseys at practice.
