The San Francisco 49ers seem to have clinched one title on Sunday, but it sure ain’t one they want.
The Ringer czar Bill Simmons said on his eponymous and massively popular podcast that the 49ers have taken the mantle for his self-anointed “year from hell” rankings for the 2024 season. The proclamation was made after Sunday’s 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.
“The Niners are not just our leaders for the year from hell. I think they’ve just about locked it down,” Simmons said to his co-host Sal “Cousin Sal” Iacono.
With the loss, the Niners are 3-4 and may be without wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk for the rest of the season with a torn ACL.
