So much is at stake in the Super Bowl. You would think that with the top prize on the line, the coaches and players would do everything possible to bring home the trophy…you know, everything like make sure the players knew the rules of the game they are paid millions to play. Apparently, that didn’t happen.
For reasons I don’t understand, the NFL instituted new rules for overtime during the playoffs. The Chiefs players knew about them and reviewed them beginning in training camp. The 49ers coaches were aware, but never prepped the players, one of whom admitted learning about it from the Jumbotron during the Super Bowl!” Inconceivable.
Don’t work overtime focusing on the fancy. Fundamentals are fundamental for a reason.
