A strong showing by Chase Young and Nick Bosa wasn’t enough to lead the San Francisco 49ers to a Super Bowl win.
Young became the fourth former Ohio State player ever to record a sack in the Super Bowl and Bosa recorded two tackles for loss, but the Kansas City Chiefs outlasted the 49ers in overtime, 25-22, to defeat San Francisco in the Super Bowl for the second time in five years.
Bosa made his mark on the game immediately by recording a tackle for loss on the 49ers’ first defensive play. Young followed that up by recording a sack on the Chiefs’ second possession, joining Bosa (in Super Bowl LIV), Mike Vrabel and Jim Marshall as the only Buckeyes with sacks in the Super Bowl.

Young had the equivalent of another sack in the second quarter when he forced Patrick Mahomes into an intentional grounding penalty for a 10-yard loss.
Bosa started the second half the same way he did the first half, recording another tackle for loss on the first play of the third quarter for a 12-yard loss.
Bosa finished the game with six total tackles and three quarterback hits while Young had two total tackles, not including the intentional grounding that could have brought him to two sacks.
Young and Bosa were the first-ever pair of former Ohio State defensive linemen to start in the same Super Bowl.
Bosa is now 0-2 in the Super Bowl as he also lost to the Chiefs in the big game as a rookie in 2020. Young, whom the Washington Commanders traded to the 49ers midseason, made his first Super Bowl appearance.
The Chiefs’ win marked the fourth consecutive year that the team that won the Super Bowl did not have any former Ohio State players on their active roster.
