Shanahan: My No. 1 goal is to not lose on special teams

Usually, when the special teams takes the field, it’s a time to go to the bathroom or run to the refrigerator to grab a snack if you’re at home watching the game — unless it’s the 49ers.

Give Robbie Gould credit. He made all five of his kicks, including two field goals over 50 yards. That’s difficult to do in the playoffs, especially on the road.

That’s where the good news ends. Mitch Wishnowsky punted the ball four times for an average of 44.8 yards. He had a couple that was right down the middle of the field.
