A Super Bowl autopsy by a San Francisco 49ers fan

Our thought bubble: I'm no football expert, but it seemed to me that it really came down to the Jake Moody extra-point kick that got blocked by Chiefs linebacker Leo Chenal.

• The block cost us an extra and crucial point that could've ended the game with the Lombardi Trophy in our (metaphorical) hands.

Of note: A viral moment from the game involving Chiefs cornerback L'Jarius Sneed ended up giving San Francisco Chronicle photographer Carlos Avila Gonzalez his 15 minutes of fame.

• Gonzalez was shooting on the edge of the field when Sneed, defending the Niners' Samuel, came charging toward the end zone chasing Brock Purdy's pass, which fell incomplete.
• Sneed, unable to come to a sudden stop, jumped clear over Gonzalez's head just as he ducked.
• Gonzalez said his phone started vibrating with dozens of messages from friends and coworkers within minutes. He ended up posting on Facebook to ask people to stop texting: "I'm fine I have to keep working."

• "This is my third Super Bowl covering the Niners and … I really thought that they were gonna do it this year," he told Axios. "But at the same time, so many things can stand on one play. … It's why my first instinct is to grab the camera and shoot even though my own personal well-being is at risk."

The big picture: Sunday's game is the third consecutive Super Bowl the Niners have lost since their last win in 1995.

The bottom line: We're all drowning our sorrows.
