The San Francisco 49ers are the betting favorites to win the Super Bowl next year, but that isn’t taking much of the sting off of falling short on the league’s biggest stage for the second time in five years.
During a recent appearance on Up & Adams, San Francisco 49ers superstar wide receiver Deebo Samuel opened up about the latest loss, indicating that even if there is optimism about the future, that doesn’t make the loss any less “heartbreaking” given how hard it is to get to the Super Bowl.
“It’s kind of hard, because basically our job is football, so it’s just like, ‘All right, let’s use this as motivation where you get back in the lab just to put yourself in a position and try to do your best to get back,’” Samuel said according to Pro Football Talk. “People just say there’s always next year, but I heard that in 2019 and it took four more years to get where we’re at. So, it’s not that easy as people think to get to the Super Bowl. It takes everything. It takes me, the coaches, the people upstairs, you bring people in to help. For everything to play out right, you’re not just gonna snap your hands and be back in the Super Bowl again.”
The Niners will have one of the best teams in the league next season and will likely be considered one of the top contenders for the Super Bowl. We’ll have to see if they can get back and finish the job.
