Niners/Purdy were going to Jennings on the biggest play of the game--the 3rd and 4 with 2 minutes left in regulation. But
the offensive line failed to pick up a KC defender blitzing up the middle and he was in Purdy's face when the threw the ball--incomplete.
The Niners probably should have used Jennings more early in the second half; their top receivers could not get open all night,
and Purdy had KC defenders in his face a lot when throwing. The KC defense essentially won the game. KC and Mahomes got
it going in the 4th quarter--but the Niner defense looked spent and was falling apart by then: Kelce was wide open 2 or 3 times. SF
didn't have a guy wide open all game. That muffed punt really hurt the Niners, along with their inability to take advantage of good field
position a few times.
