49ers: Rookie WR Ricky Pearsall shined on MNF despite the team’s 10th loss

49ers: Rookie WR Ricky Pearsall shined on MNF despite the team’s 10th loss - originally posted on Sportslens.com

During the 2023 season, the 49ers finished 12-5. That was enough for the team to have the #1 seed in the NFC playoffs. San Francisco narrowly defeated the Lions in the conference championship. The Niners lost the Super Bowl in OT to the Chiefs and their run came to an end. 

Unfortunately, San Francisco has not enjoyed that same type of success in 2024. The 49ers lost 40-34 to the Lions on MNF to end Week 17 and the team is 6-10 this season. Injuries have plagued the roster in 2024 and the team was never at full strength. Against the Lions on MNF, rookie WR Ricky Pearsall had his breakout game. He had one of the best individual performances of the night for San Francisco despite their loss. Pearsall could be a big piece of their offensive attack in 2025 with the playoffs out of reach in 2024.
