Time to add another win probability chart to our growing group of wild ones that we’ve seen over the years.
The San Francisco 49ers blew a 20-10 lead to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 54, and ended up losing 31-20 with 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter.
It wasn’t as shocking and sudden like the Miami Dolphins’ miracle win in 2018 or the win probability chart that came out of the Warriors blowing a 31-point lead last April in the playoffs. It looks a bit like the one we saw when the Mets gave up a six-run lead late.
Here’s the chart:
It was still 20-10 with 7 min left in the game and the 49ers riding a 95% win probability

ESPN might need to make another version of their win probability software for Mahomes… pic.twitter.com/RhkAFxdJwh
