“You know what? I didn’t even realize the playoff rules were different in overtime. I assume you just want the ball to score a touchdown and win. I guess that’s not the case. I don’t totally know the strategy there. We hadn’t talked about it, no.” San Francisco 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk after his team lost Super Bowl LVIII 25-22 in overtime to the Kansas City Chiefs.
