The upcoming Super Bowl features drama on both sides, with attention drawn to Taylor Swift’s relationship with Kansas City Chiefs’ Travis Kelce and concerns about San Francisco 49ers’ defensive end Chase Young’s lack of effort.
Reports suggest the 49ers are considering benching Young for his performance in the NFC championship game.
Despite his promising start, Young’s impact has waned since his rookie season. Team officials have addressed the issue without naming specific players.

“Chase Young #92 with some all time effort & heart on this play,” one commenter wrote.
“He was tired from getting blocked…oh wait the Lions literally didn’t touch him at any point during the play…I’d be shocked if he’s in the league Week 1 2025,” another said.
“Effort is a non-negotiable. I mean, that’s one of our core values, and I believe that in my heart of hearts,” San Francisco general manager John Lynch said.

“Play your heart out, and then we’ve got a lot of good players, a lot of good depth that you can get. So those aren’t plays that we’re proud of, those players are proud of. It’s been addressed, and I’d be real surprised if I saw it again,” he said.
“I know it looked bad on the clip, but no it’s not our culture,” San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan said. “We don’t wanna have one play like that. I think we had about two-to-three in that game, which is too much for us.”
“So, I’m always trying to look at myself first in the mirror and make sure that I’m the example. Today when we’re out there at practice, how do you like right now? How do I look?” linebacker Fred Warner said.
“And what example am I giving to my guys for what to look like on Sunday? It’s not gonna happen because we talk about it. It’s got to be something that you do day in and day out and we have that opportunity today,” he added.
The 49ers, known for their defensive prowess, are expected to respond strongly to this criticism during the Super Bowl.
