Who played better? Especially down the stretch.

Solid choice as well.

How fitting many "analysts" always labeled Andy Reid as the coach who would abandon the run in the biggest game on the planet ...

Yet he stuck to the run.

Shanahan didn't learn a thing from blowing the lead against the Pat's!!

After Mostert picked up five yards on a first-down carry, Shanahan called for two straight pass plays -- resulting in two incompletions from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. It was the 49ers' first three-and-out of the game.

When asked if he wished they had run the ball more on that possession, Shanahan stood by his decision.

"No not at all," he said. "The last thing you're thinking about when you're up three points and there is that much time left, the clock is not an issue at that time, especially with the timeouts. The issue was moving the chains. If you move the chains, then you will wind the clock."

Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed just three of his last 11 attempts and was intercepted once; another pass play ended in a sack. In those two Super Bowls, Shanahan's offenses have now been outscored 46-0 in the fourth quarter and overtime.

They only ran the ball eight times after they went down 20-10 and four of those were Mahomes scrambles. They went extremely pass heavy once they got down. That's also not counting the three Mahomes kneel downs on the final possession which go in the books as rushing attempts.

Tyreek Hill. Great route on the 44 yard catch. And on the play before that he would have caught the first down to move the chains, just couldn't quite keep it from touching the ground but gave a good effort. I'm not a Tyreek fan and kept waiting for the predictable Tyreek fumble or bonehead play, never really happened. He really stepped up.

Yeah, like was mentioned already, Damien Williams put that game away in the 4th quarter.
