By The Pigskin Of Our Teeth: Built Different

Demi Lovato? I'm gonna go 2:09. 1:41!!! Dear Lord. Rovell has an unofficial 1:50. Still damn fast.

New graphics! Good. The old ones were boring and too big to be as boring as they were. 49ers win the toss and defer. Chiefs get the ball first. Three and out? That never happens. Deebo! Gould field goal gives the 49ers the early lead. Chiefs doing well on first downs so far. Well, until that. Mahomes takes off and gets blasted! Where's the ball? Ward, who hit him, is still down. Turns out the ball went flying out of bounds backwards, and thus it's short of a first down. Reid had brought the kicking team out, but changed his mind. Direct snap to Williams! He picks it up... but doesn't score. Mahomes rolls right... touchdown!

Maybe the world DOES just need a Snickers. Katie certainly does:

Intercepted by Breeland! This should stand and it does. Mahomes gets hit as he throws but still finds Watkins in space. Chiefs go for it on fourth down, and Mahomes pitches it to Williams for a first down.
Buck notes that the Chiefs haven't run a sneak since Mahomes got hurt on one in Denver, a game he and Aikman did. 49ers hold and Butker makes his kick. 10-3. "ALEX?" "KHALED?" Mostert finally starting to get going. I swear Deebo makes more big plays running than catching. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a late height growth spurt. Coleman with a nice run of his own. Juszczyk with some moves after the catch and he'll score. We're tied at 10.
I'm pretty sure John and Chrissy have had that conversation at least 20 times.
Coca-Cola has an energy drink? A Bond movie in APRIL? Screen on 3rd and 14 is... odd, Andy. The 49ers not calling timeout afterwards is even more odd. Fox gettin' fancy with these artistic headshot portraits. Garoppolo's makes him look downright rugged. Big play to Kittle down the sideline, but Aikman thinks he pushed off, and it looks like he's right.
It's halftime! SmackDown spot makes me wonder if AEW would have had the balls to try buying an ad during this game.
Shakira to start, and she's already on stage. That's two upsets. She's done four songs in 90 seconds, including about 20 seconds of "Kashmir." "Hips Don't Lie" gets the most time, which seems unnecessary after she spent the whole time showing us that, in fact, they do not. She's 43 today, BTW. "Jenny From The Block" opens the second part. Is this a different stage? Where is she? J. Balvin is here.
Duet time! "Let's Get Loud", indeed. The choreography right now is freakish.
I was sure Pitbull would at least make a cameo. I know he did the pregame, but that dude doesn't get tired.
Mathieu and Sanders get into it after a Sanders catch. Deebo with another run. It's getting contentious down there. Juszczyk again.
Garoppolo misses Kittle on third down and they settle for three. Watkins finds space and Mahomes finds him. Another first down for Watkins. Mahomes fumbles but falls on it, losing six. Interception! Fred Warner stepped right in front of it.
Bourne! 49ers now at the Chiefs' 11. Juszczyk makes another catch and he's... down at the 1. Touchdown Mostert! Mahomes scrambles away from the rush and dives for a first down on the sideline on 3rd and 5. Third quarter ends. Williams makes a man miss after the catch and gets 13 yards. The 49ers' pass rush has gotten closer as the game's progressed. And now it's there as Buckner sacks Mahomes. Mahomes gets away from the rush and slides for 13. Did that hit the ground? Apparently not?
Looks like an interception off a pass that hit Hill's arm. That's gotta be caught. Right after Aikman says Shanahan's gonna run the ball down the Chiefs' throat if he can, he calls a play action pass and Kittle makes a sliding catch. Chiefs hold and the 49ers punt.
49ers insistent Hill didn't make this catch. Challenge flag is out and they may win this. Call REVERSED. Third and 15. Mahomes getting pushed back, but he gets it to Hill for 44! They've been looking for that all night but the 49ers' pass rush has prevented it. Mahomes goes deep to Kelce in the end zone. Incomplete, but there's a flag? Defensive pass interference? O... kay? Chiefs cash in from the 1 with a pass to Kelce. 20-17 with 6:13 left. 49ers go three and out.

Watkins gets past Sherman and Mahomes makes a great throw to get to the 49ers' 10. Mahomes runs left for five. He's taken some hard hits tonight. Swing pass to Williams, who goes to the pylon and... gets there? Touchdown, but this is close. I think his right foot is out of bounds, but I'm not sure. How does the pylon cam not catch that?
Call STANDS. Chiefs lead! Chiefs kickoff coverage has been on point tonight.
Mostert for 14. Two-minute warning. That's Maisie Williams, right? Garoppolo to Bourne for 16.
Kendall Fuller flies in to break up that pass. Garoppolo overthrows Sanders on third and 10. They barely get this play off and Garoppolo is sacked! That's Frank Clark, who the Chiefs traded for to replace Dee Ford, who they traded to... the 49ers. Fortunately, the Niners have all of their time outs. Williams finds an opening... and scores! That should be it. Garoppolo gets surrounded and throws it away. Intercepted by Fuller!
Who's the MVP? Andy is PUMPED. I've never seen him this excited.
Mahomes gets the MVP award. Kid's a magician.






Burke is talking about the Chiefs' first 10 points, which they got after going for it on fourth and short early in the game deep in 49ers territory. I'm not sure Reid makes either of those decisions 10 years ago. It's a new age. (Chiefs 31, 49ers 20)
