In Super Bowl LIV, the 49ers’ first possessions resulted in a field goal and an interception. They fell into a 10-3 hole, climbed back for a 20-10 lead entering the fourth quarter, then collapsed in a 31-20 loss to the Chiefs.

It means sure-handed receivers on crisp routes, whether it be Christian McCaffrey out of the backfield or slot, Deebo Samuel in open space, Brandon Aiyuk over the middle or Jauan Jennings on third down.
The 49ers have allowed 100-yard games since December to WR1s Tyreek Hill , Davante Adams , D.K. Metcalf , and CeeDee Lamb . The Rams’ Cooper Kupp had 152 yards and two touchdowns in last year’s NFC title game.
