The San Francisco 49ers made the Super Bowl for the second time in five years this past season, but fell short once again to the Kansas City Chiefs, losing in overtime 25-22 to send them packing without any hardware at the end of the year.
It was a depressing finish for the 49ers, who had come so close to achieving their goals, but blew another 10-point lead, seeing their hopes dwindle as the game came to an end.
While many believed the season was a Super Bowl or bust year, considering the talent on the roster, one prominent face still viewed the campaign as successful: owner Jed York.
