No ....Hypothetically if you got the ball first and ran the clock properly, you could score with almost no time left, and whoever got the ball second might not have any time left on their turn.
Yeah I caught that explanation.No ....
Like Romo pointed out, under the new rules, the game doesn't end. It changes to a 2nd quarter when the OT expires. They just switch ends of the field and get another 15 minutes on the clock. There really isn't a good reason to want the ball 1st. It's a much better strategy to defer. That way, you know the minimum needed on that 1st possession. It could possibly even be a good strategy to punt .... if you get a stop on the opponent's 1st offensive series.
McCaffrey fumble on the first drive was not Shanahan.
False starts and holding on the second drive was not Shanahan.
The team had no " one" to blame. SF lost it as a collective of errors.
