One of the most crushing parts for an NFL team that loses a Super Bowl is the knowledge that the climb back up the mountain is going to be exponentially harder than the previous year’s climb. Oftentimes that steep grade sees contending teams fall and underachieve the year after a Super Bowl loss. That’s typically known as the ‘Super Bowl hangover’ and it’s something the San Francisco 49ers are aiming to avoid in the 2024 campaign after an overtime loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII.
