With the Super Bowl tied 10-10 late in the first half, the San Francisco 49ers had a chance to apply some early pressure with a 42-yard pass to tight end George Kittle.
Except the ball had barely been in the air more than a moment before referees threw a flag. Kittle, fighting for separation from Kansas City's Daniel Sorensen, was called for offensive pass interference. Instead of getting within striking distance of more points, the Niners knelt on the next play and went into halftime tied.
NFL Officiating @NFLOfficiatingThe receiver extends his arm and creates separation while the ball is in the air, therefore it is offensive pass interference.
