LAS VEGAS — There were words, but not many of them.
“I’m still kind of numb and angry,” Christian McCaffrey said as he described a feeling he did not want to share. “Still going through a lot of emotions.”
None of those emotions were anything McCaffrey wanted to believe were inevitable after participating in his first Super Bowl.
The 49ers made it to Super Bowl 2024 and were favored to beat the Chiefs.
They took a 10-0 lead in the second quarter and missed numerous chances to pull further ahead.

They committed the cardinal sin of putting Patrick Mahomes in position to beat them and he did, leading the Chiefs to a 25-22 overtime victory Sunday inside Allegiant Stadium .
All losses in a Super Bowl sting.
This one cut deeper for the 49ers.
“It sucks,” McCaffrey said.
