49ers rally late in first half of Super Bowl LIV, but a questionable PI call kills final drive

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. — The San Francisco 49ers looked like they had a big play to set up at least a field goal with six seconds left in the first half of Super Bowl LIV.

They’re still wondering why it didn’t count.

The 49ers looked content to run out the final minute of the first half, but a 20-yard pass on third down got them to their own 40-yard line. Then Jimmy Garoppolo completed a deep pass to George Kittle to the Kansas City Chiefs’ 13-yard line that could have set up a field goal.

Hold on.
