Jon Feliciano Says He Was 'Hungover' When He Threw His 49ers Teammate Under The Bus After Super Bowl Loss

Published|Updated

San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Jon Feliciano took direct aim at one of his teammates following his team's overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LVIII, but was apparently hungover when doing so. Feliciano also went on to call himself a "bit-h" after the fact to cover all of his bases.

Feliciano's calling out of teammate Spencer Burford centers around the third-down play during San Francisco's drive in overtime. Kansas City's Chris Jones was able to get pressure on Brock Purdy forcing him to throw the ball away, resulting in an eventual field goal for the 49ers. San Francisco right tackle Colton McKivitz was taking the blame on social media for missing his assignment, but Feliciano made it clear that he didn't deserve the criticism.

In defending McKivitz, Feliciano simultaneously threw Burford under the bus pinning all the blame on him. Burford had entered the game in Feliciano's place after the former Miami Hurricane picked up an injury.

Feliciano didn't mention Burford by name on X, formerly Twitter, but it's no secret that's who he was pointing the finger at.

It didn't take long for Burford to catch wind of Feliciano's post. To his credit, Burford directly replied to his teammate's tweet which then led Feliciano to admit he was hungover and in his feelings when he fired off his original post.

It's nice to see teammates hash things out on social media instead of going the cryptic, silent route we see plenty of professional athletes go down these days.

All in all, the play in question is a typical ‘what might have been’ moment. If Purdy managed to hit Jauan Jennings, who broke free on the play, and the 49ers scored a touchdown on the drive, we may be talking about San Francisco being Super Bowl champions as opposed to the Chiefs.

It's safe to say that the final offensive play for the 49ers will live in the heads of Purdy and his teammates for quite some time. Jones will remember it for forever too, but in an entirely different way.
