However, the wheels fell off and the 49ers were left lamenting what went wrong in the fourth quarter of a playoff game for the second time in three seasons.
York has every reason to be proud of the 49ers after they overcame plenty of adversity throughout the year.
“It’s impressive what we accomplished and obviously we came up short, but it was a fun year,” quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo said after the game. “That’s kind of our year in a nutshell. We were 3-5 at one point. People wrote us off but we kept fighting. It’s what good teams do. It’s what tight brothers do and I got no regrets from this year.”
