But to also win a Super Bowl at the 49ers&#8217; stadium? That has to be an insult to injury.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-3\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"6r\">Surprisingly, it wasn&#8217;t. At least, not to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/49ers\/onsi\/news\/what-makes-49ers-feel-like-home-for-dre-greenlaw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">star linebacker Fred Warner<\/a>. He was asked about the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl at his press conference on Monday, where he gave a surprising answer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/01kprm3cedfb135hsdwp.jpg\" alt=\"Seahawks are Super Bowl LX champions\" title=\"Seahawks are Super Bowl LX champions\" width=\"8302\" height=\"4669\" class=\"undefined w-full w-full blur-[5px]\" q:id=\"71\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Feb 8, 2026; Santa Clara, CA, USA; The video board after the Seattle Seahawks 29-13 victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LX at Levi&#8217;s Stadium. Mandatory Credit: Kirby Lee-Imagn Images | Kirby Lee-Imagn Images<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-5\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"75\">&#8220;It wasn&#8217;t ideal. That&#8217;s for sure. I was actually here having to witness it all while I was doing the broadcasting for that game, but it is what it is, man,&#8221; Warner said. <\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-6\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"78\">&#8220;Them winning a Super Bowl last year has no effect or bearing on what we do going forward, right? It&#8217;s always a loss in our eyes when we&#8217;re not the ones winning it. It doesn&#8217;t matter if it&#8217;s Seattle, if it&#8217;s an AFC team, or whoever it is. If it&#8217;s not the 49ers, then I&#8217;m hot about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-7\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7b\">Maybe you can call this &#8220;copium&#8221;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.si.com\/nfl\/49ers\/onsi\/49ers-brock-purdy-fred-warner-provide-positive-injury-news\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"> from Warner<\/a>, but he makes an excellent point. If the 49ers didn&#8217;t win the Super Bowl, it&#8217;s brutal. It doesn&#8217;t matter who does it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-8\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7e\">Now, he does make it sound initially in his answer that it&#8217;s a little worse than usual that the Seahawks won it at Levi&#8217;s Stadium. But the point still remains that it wasn&#8217;t the 49ers, so it&#8217;s heartbreaking.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-9\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7h\">In fact, I&#8217;d bet that the 49ers would&#8217;ve viewed it way more annoying if the Kansas City Chiefs won a Super Bowl in their stadium than Seattle. It&#8217;s because of the two times they&#8217;ve lost to the Chiefs.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-10\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7k\">The only 49ers team that would&#8217;ve hated seeing Seattle win a Super Bowl in their stadium would&#8217;ve been the 2013 one. That is when the rivalry with the Seahawks was toxic.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-11\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7n\">The current rivalry with Seattle is still strong, but it&#8217;s not as hateful as the ones 15 years ago. So, it makes sense why Warner isn&#8217;t that annoyed over it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-12\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7q\">Even if he was, he&#8217;s being asked about two months later, after the Seahawks won it. His feelings have to be dissipated by now. Otherwise, it&#8217;s strange to still hold onto it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-13\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7t\">All of his focus, and the 49ers&#8217;, is towards 2026. They want to build upon their success from last season so that they can be the ones to finally hoist the Lombardi trophy.<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-14\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7w\">&#8220;We&#8217;re excited to get to work and ultimately try to get where we&#8217;re trying to go.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"inline-text-15\" class=\"my-[18px] [&amp;_a]:text-primary my-f-1.5\" q:key=\"0\" q:id=\"7z\">Follow Jose on <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/JS3Sanchezz\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">X (Twitter) @JS3sanchezz<\/a> to interact with him on the 49ers and more.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\" class=\"shrink-0\"\/>Add us as a preferred source on Google<a aria-label=\"Follow si.com on Google News\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=si.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"flex h-[30px] w-[30px] shrink-0 items-center justify-center rounded-full bg-primary font-group-large text-sm font-medium text-white transition-colors hover:bg-secondary focus:bg-secondary md:w-auto md:gap-2.5 md:px-4 md:py-[5px]\">Follow<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Watching the Seattle Seahawks win Super Bowl LX at Levi&#8217;s Stadium had to have stung the San Francisco&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":872431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2080],"tags":[220,7,6,1161,252,2624,2623],"class_list":{"0":"post-872430","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-san-francisco-49ers","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-nfl","11":"tag-san-francisco","12":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","13":"tag-sanfrancisco","14":"tag-sanfrancisco49ers"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116452099293298953","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=872430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/872431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=872430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=872430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=872430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
