5. In my view, there should not be an overtime

players are physically exhausted after 4 quarters, the chance for serious career ending injury increases dramatically as playing time continues.

Both teams player well enough to the earn the win. The 49ers owned the Chiefs in the first half... and only missed winning outright because of a missed extra point. Something that is "automatic" in football these days at the pro level.

I give credit to the chiefs for stopping the 49ers in the second half... and to Christian McCaffery on the overtime drive which he did almost by himself.

The 49ers defense which owned the Chiefs in the first half were already banged up a bit by overtime and could not stop either the run or the pass by the chiefs.

It really should have ended with a tie and dual Superbowl Champions.
