San Francisco 49ers guard Jon Feliciano apologized to his offensive lineman teammate Spencer Burford for accidentally throwing him under the bus with a “hungover” post.
Burford saw Feliciano’s post on X seemingly blaming him for a crucial mistake in overtime, prompting the OL to express his disbelief that he’s being dissed on social media after the Super Bowl 58 loss.
What Did Jon Feliciano Said About San Francisco 49ers Teammate Spencer Burford?
On X (formerly Twitter), Feliciano defended teammate Colton McKivitz when a social media user blamed him for allowing Kansas City Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones to put pressure on Brock Purdy and force the quarterback to a bad throw in a 3rd-and-4 situation in overtime.

In response, Feliciano said, “I know you know all, so [yo]u should know that’s not Colton’s guy….” When the critic saw the feedback, they asked: “So who’s guy was it? Although not his guy, a quick chop to disrupt his pass rush route could’ve given Purdy just enough time to get a pass off. o-line and special teams have been this teams weakness all year. Great run blockers but get smoked on the pass.”
That’s when things got interesting, as Feliciano seemingly threw another teammate under the bus when he said that “a quick chop is not needed if the guy that was supposed to block him, blocks him.”
Burford, who came in to replace Feliciano after he got injured in the fourth quarter, was supposed to be the player to block Jones and lessen the pressure on Purdy. And so when he noticed that the 49ers’ starting guard indirectly blamed him, he couldn’t stay silent.
“Sheesh…I open up my app to this…get well soon bro…” Burford wrote.
San Francisco 49ers’ Jon Feliciano Realizes Mistake, Apologizes
It’s certainly bizarre to see Jon Feliciano defend a teammate at the expense of another. With that said, when he realized what he just said (and after Spencer Burford’s response), the San Francisco 49ers vet quickly apologized.
Feliciano emphasized he didn’t mean to pin the blame on another teammate before saying that he was “hungover” and didn’t think of what he was saying.
“I’m sorry bro. I woke up hungover and being a b**ch. In trying to have ones back I hurt [yo]u. It’s f-Ed up and I apologize. You got nothing but greatness ahead of you. I’m sorry bro.”
It’s unknown if the two have talked personally after the little incident, though it’ll definitely be great if Feliciano can say sorry personally to Burford when they meet.
