Yes, the 49ers should have played for a tie late in overtime against the Seahawks

With less than two minutes left in overtime during their Monday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the San Francisco 49ers got the ball back one last time on their own 20-yard line.

Backup kicker Chase McLaughlin had shanked a potential game-winning kick on their previous overtime drive, and the offense was playing without its top two pass catchers in George Kittle and Emmanuel Sanders.

Jimmy Garoppolo threw three straight incompletions to his depleted receiving core, and a Seattle team that didn't have any timeouts was able to get the ball back with 1:25 left to play.
