The San Francisco 49ers concluded their disappointing 2024 NFL season with a heavy 47-24 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, leaving team leaders like Nick Bosa feeling a deep sense of embarrassment. Bosa expressed difficulty in facing his teammates after repeatedly underperforming throughout the season, noting that the defensive results were far from acceptable.

Linebacker Fred Warner echoed Bosa's sentiment, stating that the defense's performance wasn't close to the dominance they aimed for and was a personal blow to his pride. Both players are now focused on regrouping and preparing for a better 2025 season, acknowledging the growth and bonds formed despite the struggles.
