For the second year in a row, the home team will get a home Super Bowl. The Los Angeles Rams rallied from 17-7 down in the 4th quarter to finally vanquish the San Francisco 49ers in a 20-17...
If Sean McVay was actively trying to lose the game with bad challenges and timeout wasting, Kyle Shanahan punted on 4th down in Rams territory every single time. If you could forgive 4th and 9 at LA’s 42 in the 3rd quarter, there was a 4th and 6 punt at the Rams 40 resulted in LA’s first touchdown drive, and then a very bad 4th and 2 punt at LA’s 45 even after Sean McVay gave Shanahan extra time to think it over with a challenge of a potential fumble.
Cooper Kupp had 11 catches for 142 yards and both touchdowns. Odell Beckham Jr had 9 grabs for 113 yards as they picked on the 49ers secondary repeatedly. The 49ers offense ended up with -8 yards on their final six plays of the season. Add that to Kyle’s history of late-game collapses and for all we know, we just saw Jimmy’s final pass in a 49er uniform.
The 49ers had a 10-point lead on the road against an NFC West rival in a Conference Championship Game, only to lose in the 4th quarter and suffer a season-ending interception on a deflection. You damn well better believe this is getting intense Enemy Reaction treatment. And as a reminder to everyone, San Francisco’s last Super Bowl victory was so long ago that the TV showMeanwhile, the AFC Championship saw an all-time great comeback. The Kansas City Chiefs were up 21-3 on the Cincinnati Bengals and really why would anyone believe that a Patrick Mahomes team would squander such a massive lead?Joe Burrow threw a screen pass touchdown before halftime, and the Bengals made a massive goal-line stand heading into the locker room.
Cincinnati’s defense played phenomenally in the 2nd half, as Mahomes was just 8/18 for 55 yards and 2 interceptions . The first Mahomes interception resulted in a Ja’Marr Chase touchdown. The second interception in overtime — the Buffalo Bills learned a thing or two on how to play defense in overtime — gave Cincy great field position and they were able to march down the field and kick the winning field goal with rookie sensation Evan McPherson.
