Really enjoyed the game, although tbh I didn't pay as much attention as I perhaps normally would as we had three friends over that we don't see that often these days, so lots of chatting. I watched the second half on 'Game in 40' on Gamepass just now and the 49ers really did throw it away...

Their team is built to win a game from that position. How on earth did they let it get away from them!?
It came down to those two drives where they ran the ball on 1st and picked up 5 yards and then threw two incomplete passes to go three and out. Now, I like a team that stays aggressive when they have a lead, and I'd even said while we were watching that I don't think they could opt to just run the ball down after down like they did in the Championship game, but even I was a little surprised they threw it twice on both of those drives...
