For Fred Warner, winning doesn’t mean everything went right. The talented San Francisco 49ers linebacker celebrated his team’s Week 8 victory over the Dallas Cowboys, but he’s uncomfortable with how his teammates handled parts of the game.
The rivalry between the 49ers and Cowboys is intense. In recent years, San Francisco has often dominated their matchups, and Week 8 of the 2024 NFL season was no exception.
The Cowboys visited Levi’s Stadium to face the 49ers, where the home team secured a big win. However, it seems the performance still fell short of some players’ expectations.
Fred Warner sends a strong message to 49ers teammates after Cowboys win
The 49ers appear to be getting back on track. Despite significant injuries this season, the team is still considered a strong contender for the 2025 Super Bowl.
In Week 8, they faced a serious challenge against the Cowboys, a team known for its powerful offense but still struggling to meet its potential.
Both teams fought hard, putting on a show at Levi’s Stadium. Although the 49ers came out on top, Fred Warner felt the team could have closed out the game more effectively.
Starting the fourth quarter with a 17-point lead, the 49ers ultimately won 30-24. The narrowing gap, however, prompted Warner to express frustration with his teammates, urging them to maintain a stronger finish.
“I was frustrated obviously we made it a game when it didn’t need it to be, especially defensively,” the linebacker said, via 49ersWebzone.com. “Freebies, they didn’t have to earn it. 88 [Lamb] is wide open, their best player. We can’t let that happen. We put ourselves in that situation so we had to get ourselves out. It was about going out there and finishing the game and we did that.”
