BRADENTON, Fla. — Exactly 24 hours later, the 49ers’ inability to come through in the clutch at Baltimore still stung, and coach Kyle Shanahan acknowledged as much.
“We had our opportunities there at the end,” Shanahan said on a media conference call Monday. “Big miss not being able to convert that fourth-and-1.”
When Jimmy Garoppolo’s fourth-down pass got batted away by a Ravens linemen, the 49ers never got the ball again, and the Ravens responded with a field goal as time expired to clinch a 20-17 victory.
