To be fair, every other team in the NFL has done this when they get a turnover. All teams are lame and obnoxious for doing it, not just SF

Not every time. Plenty of INTs are just nonchalant celebrations. You wouldn't do this in the first quarter.
And at least they were winning at the time. Others have done it while behind

I thought the defense did that after the Chiefs intercepted it with like a minute left. It would be funny if they did it twice ?
daromander
Yeah, well KC shouldn't have scored that TD. It gave SF the ball back and a chance to win
"...shouldn't have scored that TD SO QUICKLY." They had to score at some point.
They could have kneeled the game out. But yeah, I guess my annoyance with it was how quickly it was scored
KC scored with 2:40 left and SF had their 3 TOs. They'd have to get a first down and possibly two before kneeling it out.
The final TD was scored with 1:12 left and SF having 2 TOs left. If they didn't score they could have kneeled out the clock

No bro. Just no
And you're aware that KC won the game?
Yeah? Does that change the fact that they might have made a mistake in their gameplan?
How? A TD, successful 2-point conversion and a field goal would have at least tied the game. As soon as KC would get the ball back after a
TD and a 2-point conversion, they would stall out the rest of the game and still win 28-31.
RottedOnion
Yeah they realistically had to score a TD, then onside kick and recover it and score again on the return. There just wasn't time.
That last TD sealed the win. Unless you're the Falcons.
Onside kick for SF. KC could have just kneeled out the game or at least got the clock under 30 seconds with SF having no time outs
dotcomaphobe
It was a two-possession deficit. They did the right thing.
Oh, it would be difficult. But id rather it be impossible for the other team to win rather than just difficult
birkenstocksarerad
they do that after every turnover, every team does this
OhioSucks
No they don’t
oh ok youre right i made that up to get 13 internet points
They just don’t. Sorry you’re wrong and too emotionally weak to accept that.
ok ALMOST everytime is that fucking better? j
ProbablyNotMegatron
They just went up by 10 points in the Super Bowl in the 4th quarter and were celebrating. There’s nothing wrong with this even if they lost
It looks bad when you manage to fuck up and blow the lead though. Now they're laughingstocks
It shows that anything can happen with 11 minutes still on the clock.
Shit anything could happen with t on the clock
Honestly, if you're 10+ points up on Mahomes going into late game, that's when you should be most afraid.

DomPettyAndTheLawnRakers
I wish i could upvote more than once. You shouldn't be so far down.
12 minutes is a lifetime. Celebrate when it's like, 1 minute left and someone makes a game ending INT.
This would make more sense
It is known. But these people have fought for basically their entire life to make it to this game. I cant see the point of criticizing - 1/2
Them for being excited. They are at the highest point in their life. Of course hind sight says it was for nothing. But not in the moment.

Not really. They're literally statistics.
I hear ya. They just don’t take into account the actual situation with the teams playing and the flow of the game... etc.
That is all subjective. Same reason why it can be raining but still only be a 60% chance of rain. It's based on times w similar conditions
Down by 10, with 12ish mins to go? Doesn't feel like 96%

Nah, the Chiefs can't make their move until they're down by double digits. They lull you into a false sense of security first.

Never blow your wad in the 1st half. Pacing children, pacing.
reineseele
As a none american football expert from a none US country...was it underdog style = really insane game change?
More or less felt like a momentum change. The Chiefs turned it on and then the 49ers kinda panicked and fell apart trying to catch back up.
MotrinandDischarge
I also think someone on the Chiefs staff kicked the O line's ass to get them to focus, they finally gave Mahomes time to work his magic.
snekonaplen
Actually bookies had this game at the Chiefs winning by 1 point and the score totaling 54 points. So basically they were very well matched
Sorta? Chiefs came from behind to score 3 times without letting the other team score any, for the win.
But they'd done this comeback so many times this season they had a reputation for it.

tacticusprime
It wasn't, it just happened to occur. This is what people don't get about statistics.
Stats can be skewed. Those stats where for all NFL, redo for just KC and their 2019-2020 season and they would be drastically different
No. That's not how statistics works.
So there is no statistical relevance that KC had X comebacks of 10 or more points in the 4th quarter in the 2019/2020 season?
You can be right that something was unlikely, even if it eventually happened.
No once it happened it is 100% likely to happen. Statistics be like that too
... who gives a fuck? Getting 10 million heads in a row is 100% once it happens. That tells you nothing.
ImNotTaylorSwift
No. Once it happened, it 100% happened. Happening and likelihood are two different things.

It wasn’t even 4th down... at least try to run it ONCE when you have Marshawn in his prime, multiple time outs, and INCHES to go.
dan578
They did run it once...gained a few yard then pats went goal line so they thought "let's try a pass play that has never not worked for us"
The issue is that if they ran it on that down, they would have "lost" a down due to time. They threw to get an extra crack at the endzone.1/
There's also data indicating that teams are actually more likely to turn the ball over running than throwing so close to the the goal line.2
Also fuck the Pats

oh ok youre right i made that up to get 13 internet points
OhioSucks
They just don’t. Sorry you’re wrong and too emotionally weak to accept that.
birkenstocksarerad
ok ALMOST everytime is that fucking better? j
ProbablyNotMegatron
They just went up by 10 points in the Super Bowl in the 4th quarter and were celebrating. There’s nothing wrong with this even if they lost
SmokyDoggg
It looks bad when you manage to fuck up and blow the lead though. Now they're laughingstocks
WaffleDestroyer
It shows that anything can happen with 11 minutes still on the clock.
TableArizona
Shit anything could happen with t on the clock
Creid233
Honestly, if you're 10+ points up on Mahomes going into late game, that's when you should be most afraid.

Sportsmanship
Hurro
Has that been in football? I see it in hockey and baseball, but not so much in football.
vigothecruel
Right? Call me an old curmudgeon, but Jerry Rice would never engage in such behavior.
Itsonporpoise
Jerry Rice let his work ethic and ability speak for him...and I was a Cris Carter fan so old curmudgeons unite I guess.
DomPettyAndTheLawnRakers
I wish i could upvote more than once. You shouldn't be so far down.

12 minutes is a lifetime. Celebrate when it's like, 1 minute left and someone makes a game ending INT.
WaffleDestroyer
This would make more sense
DomPettyAndTheLawnRakers
It is known. But these people have fought for basically their entire life to make it to this game. I cant see the point of criticizing - 1/2
DomPettyAndTheLawnRakers
Them for being excited. They are at the highest point in their life. Of course hind sight says it was for nothing. But not in the moment.
rockchalker73
49ers has a 96% chance of winning in the 4th quarter
DarkAngelWarlord
I hope people in vegas who were betting money on the 49ers lost a ton of money I hope they lost all their hopes and dreams

Buck Nasty, is that you?

Whoever came up with that stat has not been watching the Chiefs this year.
MeowWoof
And then they passed on 2nd and 5 instead of running out the clock

Fun Fact: The only time the Superbowl losing team had a higher percentage of winning was when the Falcons played the Patriots.

Those stats are ridiculous.
KyleButNotThatKyle
Not really. They're literally statistics.
BendOverAndIllShowYa
I hear ya. They just don’t take into account the actual situation with the teams playing and the flow of the game... etc.
KyleButNotThatKyle
That is all subjective. Same reason why it can be raining but still only be a 60% chance of rain. It's based on times w similar conditions
parkway
Down by 10, with 12ish mins to go? Doesn't feel like 96%
TooFunkToDrunction
I had $50 on the 49ers, was not happy
SmokyDoggg
I had $400 on the Chefs. Ended up really happy

You could have been the guy who laid 2.5 millions and be really unhappy
TooFunkToDrunction
Id be happy to have 2.5 million to lose
EyeSpyABreathtakingPerson
Nah, the Chiefs can't make their move until they're down by double digits. They lull you into a false sense of security first.

Never blow your wad in the 1st half. Pacing children, pacing.
reineseele
As a none american football expert from a none US country...was it underdog style = really insane game change?
EyeSpyABreathtakingPerson
More or less felt like a momentum change. The Chiefs turned it on and then the 49ers kinda panicked and fell apart trying to catch back up.
MotrinandDischarge
I also think someone on the Chiefs staff kicked the O line's ass to get them to focus, they finally gave Mahomes time to work his magic.
snekonaplen
Actually bookies had this game at the Chiefs winning by 1 point and the score totaling 54 points. So basically they were very well matched
Creid233
Sorta? Chiefs came from behind to score 3 times without letting the other team score any, for the win.
Creid233
But they'd done this comeback so many times this season they had a reputation for it.

Like objects in a rearview mirror... that 4% was bigger than it appeared.

tacticusprime
It wasn't, it just happened to occur. This is what people don't get about statistics.
Reelthreat
Stats can be skewed. Those stats where for all NFL, redo for just KC and their 2019-2020 season and they would be drastically different
tacticusprime
No. That's not how statistics works.
Reelthreat
So there is no statistical relevance that KC had X comebacks of 10 or more points in the 4th quarter in the 2019/2020 season?
tacticusprime
You can be right that something was unlikely, even if it eventually happened.
snekonaplen
No once it happened it is 100% likely to happen. Statistics be like that too
tacticusprime
... who gives a fuck? Getting 10 million heads in a row is 100% once it happens. That tells you nothing.
ImNotTaylorSwift
No. Once it happened, it 100% happened. Happening and likelihood are two different things.

I’m with you man. But it was weirdly satisfying watching the man who was the real reason behind that choke blow it once again. F* Shanahan

Fuck San Fran was talking shut when leading. Glad they got what they deserved.

For Atlanta I'm kinda glad Shanahan blew another lead not gonna lie...

The real reason I rooted for the chiefs was if the 49ers won, they would have 6 super bowls....

Same. I also want Tom to get ring number 7 (here or elsewhere) so that TOM BRADY becomes the winningest NFL franchise in league history.

It was huge when the game happened. God I love being a Pats fan
Xannos
It wasn’t even 4th down... at least try to run it ONCE when you have Marshawn in his prime, multiple time outs, and INCHES to go.
dan578
They did run it once...gained a few yard then pats went goal line so they thought "let's try a pass play that has never not worked for us"
inb4thewar
The issue is that if they ran it on that down, they would have "lost" a down due to time. They threw to get an extra crack at the endzone.1/
inb4thewar
There's also data indicating that teams are actually more likely to turn the ball over running than throwing so close to the the goal line.2

Also fuck the Pats

Yea? Will you support Bill Bellicheat now that your team is average? We’ll see! I say they lose 80% of fans within 5 yrs. We’ll see.

We have a name for “fans” that only love a team while it wins...FAIRWEATHER FANS. BANDWAGONERS. I’m a Cowboy win or lose baby!Thick or thin!

Good for you. Stick by your team. Sadly, the smug douchebaggery of fairweather fans will get you made fun of a lot so grin and bear it.
