Kliff Kingsbury on ill-fated timeout: 'That's on me' Published: Nov 01, 2019 at 01:14 AM Around the NFL Writer In a three-point lo s, every decision gets put under the microscope. first-year coach Kliff Kingsbury Kenta Maeda Jersey had a couple of head-scratchers in Thursday night's 28-25 home defeat to the . The most obvious questionable decision came late in the first half with the Niners going for it on fourth-and-1 with four seconds left in the second quarter. San Francisco called a run play for that Arizona appeared to blow up, which would keep it a one-score tilt at half. Alas, Kingsbury called a timeout right before the snap, negating the play. As fate would deem proper, the punched it in with a pa s on the following play. After the lo s, the rookie coach took ownership of the gaffe timeout.
