Ah, the San Francisco 49ers. A team steeped in history, with a trophy cabinet overflowing with gleaming Lombardi trophies... well, at least it used to be overflowing. Let's take a dip into the not-so-distant past and see when the 49ers last graced the biggest stage in football, the Super Bowl.
Hold on to Your Golden Gate Bridge: February 11th, 2024!
That's right, folks! The 49ers were just a hair's breadth away from glory not too long ago. They battled it out against the Kansas City Chiefs in a nail-biting Super Bowl LVIII (that's 58 for those of you not down with Roman numerals). It was a heart-stopping game, with the score going back and forth like a seagull trying to steal your french fries on Fisherman's Wharf. Unfortunately, the Chiefs managed to pull off a win in overtime, leaving the 49ers feeling a bit like they'd just gotten sourdough bread stuck in their throats (a truly terrible fate for any San Franciscan).
