49ers should have deferred. Just another mistake by them. But had they handled the fourth down correctly they had a good shot at winning right there, however their aggressiveness got the better of them, they blew contain and Mahomes had an easy path.

The ultimate game theory suggests taking the ball 2nd even worst case scenario giving up a TD you should go for 2 if you are fortunate enough to score I'd take a 2 try for the win over giving team that got it first another possession.

I would have deferred. If your defense can hold, you get the ball and can win it with a field goal. Worst thing that happens is they score and you have the chance to do the same.

I get the feeling the 49er calling the toss and winning it just decided they wanted the ball because he was thinking of the old overtime rules. In other words, he messed up.
Who Dey!
