It’s the simplest play in football: victory formation. You’ve clinched the game and you just need to kneel down a few times, with all of your teammates surrounding you to prevent a Greg Schiano dick-move by the defense.
But somehow, at the end of their victory against Denver, the Niners did screw it up. Even though they could have kneeled out the clock, they didn’t, allowing the Broncos to run one final play at the end of the game from their own 41-yard line.
That doesn’t sound like a huge deal, except that the 49ers lead was exactly six points.
