I'm born and raised in the Bay Area and I'm a 49er fan since they played at Keezar Stadium. The bottom line to me is that it was a great game; Close, competitive, and exciting right down to the final seconds. 49ers lost to a team that was better coached, better prepared, and had a force of nature Mahomes leading a team that simply did not want to lose. The 49ers played a great game. The Chiefs played a better one.

Purdy will get better with more experience. The team will most likely learn the Overtime Rules at some point, and Shanahan will either be gone or or learn from his failed Super Bowl coaching strategy.

Right now, my hat's off to the Chiefs. They absolutely earned this victory.
