**Santa Clara, CA -** The San Francisco 49ers, still stinging from their heartbreaking overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVII, are looking to put that game behind them and focus on the upcoming season.
Quarterback Brock Purdy, who led the team to the big game despite a late-season injury, has been reviewing the game tape with head coach Kyle Shanahan and quarterbacks coach Brian Griese. He highlighted a key third-down incompletion in the fourth quarter as a play he wishes he could have back. Purdy believes a better read would have resulted in a first down, potentially giving the 49ers a crucial advantage late in the game.
The 49ers had a chance to clinch the win in overtime, but a pressure-filled throwaway by Purdy after a strong drive ended the threat. The Chiefs subsequently capitalized on their opportunity, scoring the game-winning touchdown.
Despite the bitter ending, the 49ers remain a Super Bowl contender and are eager to start fresh. Their first test comes this Monday Night Football against the New York Jets at home. The team will be looking for a strong start to the season and a chance to prove that last year’s Super Bowl loss was just a stepping stone on their path to championship glory.
