Mitch Wishnowsky had a significant role in the game, executing a 49-yard punt that led to a controversial play in the fourth quarter. His punt appeared to touch returner Dee Williams, which resulted in a recovery by Jalen Graham. However, the officials ruled that the ball was downed instead of a fumble, a decision that was upheld despite a challenge from head coach Kyle Shanahan. This incident highlighted the challenges in officiating when the command center lacked access to enhanced video footage that could have clarified the situation.
