Inexplicable clock management might have cost the 49ers points.
With Super Bowl LIV tied at 10 late in the first half, the San Francisco 49ers got a crucial third-down stop. They had all three timeouts remaining. And if they’d used one of them, they’d have had a chance to go into halftime with a lead.
Instead, when Jimmy Garoppolo completed a pass to Jeff Wilson out to the Niners’ 45-yard line on their first third-down play of the drive ... there were only 14 seconds remaining. That’s when Shanahan used his first timeout of the half. So of course, fans and reporters returned to the late-first-half clock management after the game. Shanahan was asked about it at his news conference. He pointed out that the Chiefs also had three timeouts remaining, and a three-and-out would have given Patrick Mahomes another shot at points before the half.
