I checked the play by play and the last drive was 15 plays. It seemed like 30, neverending.
Nobody can ever say Russell Wilson doesn’t have heart.
And speaking of heart, Wilson had seven plays to score from less than 12 yards out. Couldn't do it. 49ers defense were lion-hearts. That last tackle by Greenlaw reminded me of the 49er goal line stand against Cincinnati in their first Super Bowl, SB XVI. This clip has Dan Bunz's tackle, Hacksaw Reynolds' tackle, and the team tackle.

Bunz stopping Charles Alexander was a classic.
Bosa and friends were coming full blast at Wilson that whole drive and IIRC only hit him once, after he’d gotten his pass off. The rest of the time they were coyotes missing the roadrunner. The play where he squirted up the middle right between the edge rush was amazing.
I hardly watch any NFL but it seems to me that he and Garoppolo both have really nice touch, as opposed to the classic cannon arm.

Maybe I missed it, but it doesn't look like any of the 49ers on the field were celebrating after the 4th down stop. Imagine today if a team got a goal line stop like that: the entire defense would be running around celebrating for five minutes and doing all kinds of dances in the end zone. Oh, how I miss the 'ole days!
