I just don't see how the flag was not thrown on the fade into the endzone. The play started at the five yard line, so anything into the endzone was past the 5-yard zone. Jimmy Smith was holding for two to three yards straight and the ref just stared it right down and did nothing.
Regardless, the 49ers should have ran it in; they had many attempts at it but just kept passing instead.
Also, #29 should have been tossed for shoving a ref.
Someone was being literally held on the fake punt safety. Again, right in front of the ref.
Oh well. The Superbowl was on its way to being one of the worst ever until the 49ers started making plays.
