This was also Steve Young's last season in the league as he was forced to retire due to concussions. San Francisco started the season with a 3–1 record and were heavily favored to win the Super Bowl but Young suffered his season- and career-ending concussion against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3. After defeating the Cardinals and the Tennessee Titans without Young, the 49ers went on to lose 10 of the remaining 11 games of the season. It was the first time the team had missed the playoffs since 1991, their second time missing the playoffs in 17 seasons, and their first losing season (excluding the strike shortened 1982 season) since 1980. It was also their first season with fewer than 10 wins (excluding the strike shortened 1982 season) since 1980.
