The San Francisco 49ers lost to the Kansas City Chiefs 25-22 in overtime Sunday in Super Bowl 58 with Cowan-born wide receiver Jauan Jennings getting involved in both of San Francisco’s touchdowns for the day.

Jennings’ first big moment came with 4:23 remaining in the second quarter as he received a lateral from quarterback Brock Purdy and threw it back across the field to running back Christian McCaffrey.

McCaffrey carried the ball the rest of the way for a 21-yard touchdown to give the 49ers a 10-0 lead at that point.

Jennings stepped up again with 11:22 remaining in the fourth quarter as he caught a slant pass over the middle and shook off two tackles on his way to the end zone for a 10-yard score. The touchdown gave San Francisco a 16-13 lead with the ensuing point-after attempt being blocked by the Chiefs to keep the lead at three points.

Jennings ended the game with four receptions for 42 yards and had 21 passing yards on his one attempt. He is the second player in history to throw for a touchdown and catch a touchdown in the same Super Bowl, following Nick Foles in Super Bowl 52.

The 49ers received the opening kickoff and took the ball down to Kansas City’s 29-yard line before McCaffrey fumbled the ball for a turnover.

The next three drives ended in punts with the end result being the 49ers starting their third drive on their own 17-yard line.

The 49ers then put together the first scoring drive of the day as Jake Moody kicked a 55-yard field goal to make it a 3-0 game with 14:48 left in the first half. The kick by Moody set a Super Bowl record for longest successful field goal.

A 52-yard pass from Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes to Mecole Hardman Jr. moved the ball inside of San Francisco’s 10-yard line, but running back Isiah Pacheco fumbled the ball on the next snap to give the ball back to the 49ers.

After one more punt each on both sides, the 49ers conducted their first touchdown drive on the connection between Jennings and McCaffrey to make it a 10-point game.

The Chiefs were able to avoid being shut out in the first half as kicker Harrison Butker hit a 28-yard field goal to put the score at 10-3 with 20 seconds to go in the first half.

The 49ers led 10-3 at halftime.

Mahomes threw an interception to San Francisco’s Ji’Ayir Brown on the opening drive of the second half, but the 49ers weren’t able to pick up a first down on the ensuing possession and punted the ball away.

Another trio of traded punts led to a 47-yard scoring drive for the Chiefs with Butker hitting a field goal from 57 yards out to break the record set by Moody earlier in the day and to make it a 10-6 with 5:01 to go in the third quarter.

Following another San Francisco punt and a three-and-out from Kansas City, the Chiefs got a big break as a muffed punt by the 49ers was recovered by Kansas City at the opposing 16-yard line.

Mahomes found a wide-open Marquez Valdes-Scantling over the middle on the next play from scrimmage for a touchdown to give the Chiefs a 13-10 lead with 2:28 remaining in the third quarter.

Jennings caught a third-down pass on the next drive to move the 49ers to midfield. The 49ers continued to move the ball down the field on that possession before Jennings recorded his receiving touchdown to flip the scoreboard back in their favor with 11:22 left in regulation.

However, the Chiefs were far from done as they put together a 12-play, 69-yard drive which ended in a 24-yard field goal from Butker to tie the game at 16-16 with 5:46 left on the clock.

The back-and-forth action continued with the 49ers driving into enemy territory once more, and Moody hit a 53-yard field goal to give them a 19-16 advantage with 1:53 remaining.

The Chiefs then steadily moved the ball down the field and ultimately settled for a 29-yard field goal from Butker to tie the score with three seconds remaining and force overtime.

The 49ers got the ball first to start the extra period and faced a third-and-4 at Kansas City’s 9-yard line. Jennings briefly got open on the third-down play, but Kansas City defensive tackle Chris Jones disrupted Purdy’s throw and forced an incompletion.

Moody was then brought out and kicked a 27-yard field goal to give the 49ers the lead one more time at 22-19.

The Chiefs were put in a fourth-and-1 situation to start their overtime possession, but Mahomes broke free for an eight-yard scramble to extend the game.

The Chiefs successfully converted two third downs as the possession continued before Mahomes found Hardman Jr. in the end zone from three yards out for a walk-off touchdown.

The win gave the Chiefs their fourth Super Bowl title in franchise history and their third in the past five seasons.
