Social media detectives believe they’ve uncovered the very moment where Nick Bosa cursed himself and the San Francisco 49ers in what has been a disastrous 2024 season.

Nick Bosa and the 49ers entered 2024 with sky-high expectations, having barely lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in overtime of Super Bowl 58. But Thursday’s loss to the Los Angeles Rams dropped San Francisco to 6-8, essentially ending any realistic hopes of making the postseason.

The 49ers have to win out to have any chance, and even that feels unlikely given how they’ve played this year. The Rams (8-6) and Seattle Seahawks (8-5) are both in contention for the NFC West division crown, and at least one of them is guaranteed a winning record since they meet again in Week 18.

After the 49ers lost, social media detectives pointed out that the 49ers have gone 2-4 since Nick Bosa endorsed Donald Trump with a “Make America Great Again” hat following the team’s Week 8 win over the Dallas Cowboys.

The #49ers are 2-4 since Nick Bosa put that stupid hat on his head.

Ever since Bosa flashed the Trump hat 49ers have been 2-4 and played themselves out of playoff contention #coincidence

Nick bosa invisible again!!! I’m curious have you done any statistical analysis on player performance after the trump dance? Incredibly every single player who did it for the 49ers have been shells of their former selves. Complete jokes. I laugh at their pathetic performance

Feel like Bosa tried harder before Trump
Got elected

Whether you’re superstitious or not, what’s not up for debate is the 49ers’ record since that Week 8 game against Dallas. But Nick Bosa’s production hasn’t exactly waned; as he has 2.5 sacks over the three contests he’s played since endorsing Trump.

Bosa was fined $11,255 by the NFL for violating their rules regarding the display of a personal message and non-sponsored brand.

Nick Bosa’s 49ers Have A Lot To Sort Through In 2025

There have been calls for the 49ers to move on from head coach Kyle Shanahan and GM John Lynch, but that feels unlikely given the team’s success under their leadership.

The team must decide on wide receiver Deebo Samuel, who’s entering the last year of his contract. Quarterback Brock Purdy is entering the final season of his rookie deal, but he hasn’t played well enough to justify a significant long-term contract extension.
