Apparently there was a streaker. Which is all the excuse I need to post this. [https://youtu.be/M0I6R5tY1ks?si=maxgEClLbfN0K8KN](https://youtu.be/M0I6R5tY1ks?si=maxgEClLbfN0K8KN)

This is approaching Super Bowl V levels of sloppiness.

There is a drop back 10 and punt! There you go!

Kyle Shanahan not running the ball is mystifying.

What is the fewest number of first downs in any quarter by both teams in a Super Bowl?

Fumbley sort of game.

A punt rarely goes like that, even though “drop back 10 and punt” is an expression used for when your back is against the wall or in a tight spot. I don’t remember seeing that happen in a super bowl.

Gutsy playcall on fourth down there; it would have been very understandable to just chip in a field goal to tie it.
