Raging San Francisco 49ers fan smashes his TV with a bottle of Jack Daniels after last-gasp Super Bowl defeat to the Chiefs
City Chiefs bringing their dreams crashing down sparked a furious reaction from a supporter watching at home.
In a video which has gone viral on social media, the furious 49ers fan leaps up out of his seat straight after Mecole Hardman Jnr’s game-winning touchdown for the Chiefs and puts a bottle of Jack Daniels through his TV, much to the dismay of his friends in the room.
San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed the decision was made with a potential third possession in mind amid new overtime rules which gives both teams at least one drive each.
If overtime lasted that long, the Niners would have then had the chance to end the game themselves.
‘None of us have a ton of experience with it,’ Shanahan admitted. ‘We went through all the analytics and talked to those guys. We decided it would be better getting the ball third because if both teams matched and scored, we wanted to be the ones to have a chance to go win it.’
