The San Francisco 49ers suffered their first loss of the season last night, a heartbreaking last-second defeat to the Seattle Seahawks in overtime, and have vowed to improve.
Cornerback Richard Sherman called the loss a "learning experience."
"Guys battled," Sherman told reporters after the game." We had a chance to win it. But we've got to play better on both sides of the ball, all three phases, we've got to play better football."
Said quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo: "I think we've got a good group of guys in there with the mindset. We're going to come into work tomorrow and fight."
Several players also shared their thoughts on the loss via Twitter.
We will only get better from this! Faithful we got you🙏🏾
