Secondly, the author states that there is no trophy for having the look of a champion which contradicts their claim about being championship caliber. Thirdly, the article portrays San Francisco as an easy team to beat but in reality, they are one of the most dominant teams in football with a pulverizing style and schematic innovation.

Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'tough lesson' and 'heartbreaking loss', which exaggerates the importance of a football game. Secondly, the author implies that Jordan Love made a youthful overreach by going for it on 4th & 1 at the 14 yard line with a lead when he should have taken an FG attempt. However, this decision was ultimately up to Matt LaFleur and not solely Jordan Love's fault. Thirdly, the author implies that Aaron Jones was not used effectively in the second half of the game by stating 'the shift away from running Aaron Jones between the tackles in the second half of the game'. This is misleading as it suggests that Aaron Jones was never effective during his time on field which is not true. The article also fails to disclose sources.
