The San Francisco 49ers suffered their most disappointing loss of the season, and probably their most disappointing since 2013 — the last time the team lost a Super Bowl. It looked like the 49ers might take home their sixth Vince Lombardi Trophy when they led 20-10 late in the game. Then a fourth-quarter collapse or a ferocious Chiefs comeback, whichever you prefer to call it, occurred.
The 49ers Communications staff provided some key 49ers-centric statistics from the game. They are below.
