For some reason, it has become more common to assign blame for blowing big big games than credit to the team that came from behind for an improbable win.
We marvel at Joe Montana’s Super Bowl drive many years ago, and don’t dwell on the Cincinnati Bengals giving it up. That’s not the case anymore. We crush the Seattle Seahawks’ play-calling rather than celebrate Malcolm Butler’s great play, blame the Atlanta Falcons for blowing a 28-3 lead more than focusing on the New England Patriots’ comeback, and now we’re ripping the San Francisco 49ers for blowing Super Bowl LIV.
