49ers' Kyle Shanahan, Fred Warner make their voices heard before Super Bowl 60

"Coach Kyle Shanahan and linebacker Fred Warner were part of NBC's five-hour Super Bowl 60 pregame show Sunday, a consolation prize for the five-time Lombardi Trophy-winning 49ers failing to get out of the divisional playoff round with a 41-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Instead, it was Seattle (16-3) inhabiting the 49ers' home locker room in advance of the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots (17-3) at Levi's Stadium. The 49ers last won a championship following the 1994 season, and they've lost three times since. Two of those came with Warner on the field and Shanahan on the sidelines Super Bowl 54 and Super Bowl 58. Both were against the Kansas City Chiefs in Miami (31-19) and Las Vegas (25-22 in overtime) in which the 49ers had 10-point leads."

"You guys are making me bring up some dark Super Bowl memories, Shanahan said. I've been able to go to nine of these. I went to six of them with my dad and three on my own. I look at it as he got blown out in his first three and then he won his next three. And I've got my three losses out of the way."

"C'mon, this is torture for me, Warner joked. He recalled his first Super Bowl against Kansas City and a big first-half play that had him thinking of hoisting the Lombardi Trophy. There is a moment I can vividly remember, a young Fred Warner making the biggest play in the biggest moment, an interception in the Super Bowl against Patrick Mahomes, Warner said."

Kyle Shanahan and linebacker Fred Warner appeared on NBC's Super Bowl 60 pregame show following the 49ers' 41-6 divisional playoff loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle will occupy the 49ers' home locker room ahead of the Super Bowl against the New England Patriots at Levi's Stadium. The 49ers last won a championship after the 1994 season and have since suffered three Super Bowl defeats, including games at which Warner played and Shanahan coached. Shanahan recounted multiple Super Bowl trips with his father and his own losses. Warner joked about the situation and recalled a vivid interception moment against Patrick Mahomes.
