Green Bay’s defense was led by cornerback Jaire Alexander and safety Darnell Savage, who both made interceptions in the first half. Unfortunately, Alexander seemed to worsen an ankle injury during the third quarter of Sunday’s game. It is important to keep an eye on his condition for the upcoming week.
There was no indication that the quarterback, who would ultimately have 26 fourth-quarter comebacks in his career, was going to perform his usual magic against Washington. The 49ers were behind 21-0 near the end of the third quarter, and Montana had only completed 18 out of 34 passes for 140 yards. Additionally, he had missed a long throw to Wilson in the second quarter that could have resulted in a 77-yard touchdown.
And suddenly, something miraculous occurred. Montana astonishingly connected on 9 out of 11 throws, accumulating 207 yards and three touchdowns within a mind-blowing stretch of just eight minutes and 10 seconds. The result? A tied game, with the score standing at 21-21 between the 49ers and Washington, and 7 minutes and 8 seconds still remaining.
I was there, observing the scene unfold, thinking to myself, “Joe, you have the power to halt this at any moment,” Theismann recalled. “I could feel the surge of momentum. However, rather than embracing it, we found ourselves overwhelmed by it.”
After experiencing numerous challenges in the league, Bosa believes he has gained valuable wisdom that he feels compelled to pass down to his teammates. Considering the multiple times he has come close to success, Bosa believes it would be unfair to withhold his insights. A few years ago, 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan assigned him the responsibility of sharing his knowledge with the team, which Bosa has come to appreciate. The role forces him to carefully consider what he will impart to the team each week, a task that becomes increasingly difficult during the long NFL season.
Crafting an inspirational speech that universally applies to every game is a challenging task, as the ebbs and flows of an NFL season make it difficult, according to the 26-year-old.
In particular, when you have a big match against a strong rival one week and then experience a low performance the following week, it is crucial to maintain a high level of motivation every single week in order to achieve our desired goals,” Bosa stated. “Therefore, I strive to find various methods of generating enthusiasm. It’s not that I am solely focused on hyping everyone up, but rather I am expressing my genuine thoughts and feelings.”
