The Kansas City Chiefs were ripe for the taking in Miami, but errors from San Francisco’s head coach and quarterback helped them escape
Losing any
Super Bowl is painful. But losing a Super Bowl like this will be all the more difficult for San Francisco to stomach.
It’s easy after such an instant classic to race to apportion blame. A clock management miscue here, an errant play-call there. Ordinarily, those would be scapegoating tactics – sometimes the other team is just better. This championship Chiefs team is special; their quarterback may well be the new Michael Jordan. But they were ripe for the taking on Sunday, and that’s what will sting the most today and in the future.
