All mouth.
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. � For 18 games, three quarters and about
eight minutes, the San Francisco 49ers defense was great. With
seven minutes left Sunday, it looked worthy of a Super Bowl
championship.
Then, poof.
Patrick Mahomes hit a big third-and-15 pass to Tyreek Hill, and
that started an avalanche. The Chiefs scored 21 points in the
final minutes to turn a 20-10 deficit into a 31-20 win. The
49ers defense, which had been magnificent all season and had
dominated most of Super Bowl LIV, couldn�t make a play.
�It is what it is,� cornerback Richard Sherman said. �We didn�t
execute at the end and they got the win.�
Sherman gave up one of the big plays. Sherman had a fantastic
season and has had a Hall of Fame career. But with 3:44 left,
Sammy Watkins beat Sherman for a 38-yard catch. That set up
Damien Williams� 5-yard touchdown run, which would be the game-
winning score.
�He made a play,� Sherman said.
That�s how Sherman�s postgame news conference went. He�s one of
the best interviews in the NFL, and he was entertaining all of
Super Bowl week. After Sunday�s game, most of his answers were
just a few words, usually punctuated with him saying the 49ers
didn�t execute.
He was polite and professional. But he just didn�t seem to have
any answers.
�Just mistakes. Just mistakes,� Sherman said. �Simple mistakes.�
Via Twitter, Sherman was more critical of himself, saying, �I
wasn�t good enough tonight and I will fix that.�
"Shutdown corner". Yeah right. Slow, overpaid, looked
downright stupid against the Chiefs.
