Jon Feliciano Is Sorry For Blaming Teammate Spencer Burford By ‘Hungover’ Post
Although the quantity of alcohol that members of the Kelce family might have drunk was the main topic of discussion following the Kansas City Chiefs’ 25-22 overtime victory against the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl 58, it also had an effect on the losing side.
Jon Feliciano Is Sorry For Blaming Teammate Spencer Burford By ‘Hungover’ Post
Guard Jon Feliciano of the 49ers expressed regret to offensive linemate Spencer Burford for a “hungover” post on X that berated him for failing to block Chris Jones, the defensive tackle for the Chiefs, on a third-and-four in overtime, forcing Brock Purdy to make a poor pass.

The subject of Feliciano’s criticism of colleague Spencer Burford is the third-down play that occurs during San Francisco’s overtime drive. Chris Jones of Kansas City was able to put pressure on Brock Purdy, compelling him to throw the ball away, resulting in an eventual field goal for the 49ers. San Francisco right tackle Colton McKivitz was taking the blame on social media for missing his assignment, but Feliciano made it clear that he didn’t deserve the criticism.
Feliciano, the former offensive tackle for the Giants, responded to Burford on X, expressing his displeasure with his blame delegation and accusing him of being a lousy teammate.

“Im sorry bro. I woke up hungover and being a b–h. In trying to have ones back I hurt u,” Feliciano tweeted. “t’s f-Ed up and I apologise. You got nothing but greatness ahead of you.
I’m sorry bro.”
The 49ers’ overtime drive’s third-down play is the focal point of the drama.
Perhaps the outcome of the game would have been different if the 49ers had scored a touchdown on that play.

In overtime, with the Chiefs facing a third-and-4 at their 9-yard line, Jones managed to get a free rush on quarterback Brock Purdy and force an incompletion.
Purdy would have probably found an open Brandon Aiyuk or Jauan Jennings for a score if not for the sudden pressure.
Presumably, Jones—the Chiefs’ greatest defensive lineman—was not intended to be unblocked on the play in the 49ers’ game plan.
It’s encouraging to see teammates work things out on social media rather than taking the enigmatic, quiet path that many professional sportsmen choose these days.

Overall, the play in question is a classic example of a “what might have been.” Purdy may have been able to target Jauan Jennings, who broke free on the play, and if the 49ers scored a touchdown on the drive, San Francisco rather than the Chiefs may be the Super Bowl champs.
It’s reasonable to say that Purdy and his teammates will remember the 49ers’ final offensive play for a long time. Jones, too, will always remember it, but in a very different manner.
Is Jon Feliciano good?
That’s what veteran offensive guard Jon Feliciano of the San Francisco 49ers possesses. Due to Aaron Banks’ and Spencer Burford’s injuries this season, he has been able to cover at both guard spots. Furthermore, Feliciano has outperformed the two starts he has relieved, if not exceeded them.
Oh and Spencer Burford and Jon Feliciano were beefing but I think they made up now. Hope your nap was good tho 😂https://t.co/ZWyhz1BTKX
