Frequently honored 49ers won’t win NFL awards this time around

SANTA CLARA — The 49ers have been all but removed from the playoff picture, which also means they’re all but removed from the postseason honors picture as well.

The hardware is for winners, as evidenced by Christian McCaffrey capturing the NFL Offensive Player of the Year last season and Nick Bosa being the Defensive Player of the Year following the 2022 season.

Tellingly, neither is in the conversation this season, mostly due to the almost absurd amount of injuries that have helped derail the 2024 season.
