The San Francisco 49ers came up short in the Super Bowl LVIII rematch vs. the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, and a lot of their struggles showed up in the fourth quarter.

The Chiefs scored their third touchdown of the day to start the fourth quarter, putting them up by nine points at 21–12. The 49ers answered by quarterback Brock Purdy throwing an interception to end their drive. The Chiefs responded by scoring another touchdown to go up 28–12 with three minutes left of the game. Purdy scored a touchdown for the 49ers with one minute left in the game, but it wasn't enough to capture a win.
