With that being said, the 2025-2026 NFL was a roller coaster and in this week’s rendition of Tyler’s Take, I discuss the most surprising and disappointing franchises of the year. San Francisco 49ers (12-5), Surprise:Throughout the 2025-2026 stretch, the 49ers faced many injuries, making it challenging to find ways to win. During the team’s bout with the Giants in Week 9, the former Georgia Bulldog tore his ACL and lateral meniscus. Despite the many holdbacks, the 49ers reached the Divisional round of the 2025-2026 playoffs but lost 41-6 to the Seahawks. Ahead of the 2025-2026 run, the franchise departed from wideout Amari Cooper, who never really flourished in the Bills’ offensive schemes.
