The 2024 season was the San Francisco 49ers' 75th in the National Football League (NFL), their 79th overall, their eleventh playing their home games at Levi's Stadium and their eighth under the head coach/general manager tandem of Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch. They entered the season as defending NFC Champions. The 49ers failed to improve on their 12–5 record from 2023 with a Week 11 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and failed to match it after a Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers. With the Los Angeles Rams and Washington Commanders winning in Week 16, the 49ers were eliminated from playoff contention for the first time since 2020. [1] The 49ers would subsequently suffer their first losing season since that year when they lost to the Miami Dolphins later that day.

The team struggled with injuries to their starters throughout the season. Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Aiyuk, Jordan Mason, Trent Williams, and Mitch Wishnowsky, among other players, were relegated to injured reserve and missed the remainder of the season. McCaffrey had suffered an Achilles injury that caused him to miss the first eight games. [2] The 49ers' defense also struggled under defensive coordinator Nick Sorensen, finishing 29th in points allowed and recording only two turnovers following their bye week. Following the season, Sorensen was relieved of his role. [3]

The 2011 San Francisco 49ers season was the franchise's 66th season overall, and 62nd in the National Football League (NFL). It was the first season under head coach Jim Harbaugh and general manager Trent Baalke. The 49ers rebounded from their disappointing 2010 season to end their streak of eight consecutive non-winning seasons. After defeating the St. Louis Rams in week 13 and attaining a 10–2 record, the team clinched the NFC West and made their first playoff appearance since 2002. The 49ers ended the regular season with a 13–3 record, their best since 1997, and earned a bye in the first round of the playoffs. In the Divisional Playoffs they defeated the New Orleans Saints 36–32 and were in the NFC Championship for the first time since 1997, where they lost to the eventual eventual Super Bowl champion New York Giants in overtime by a score of 20–17, coming just short of returning to the Super Bowl for the first time since 1994.
