Deommodore Lenoir didn't sugarcoat anything while discussing the 49ers' expectations for the 2024 NFL season.
Fresh off a still-stinging Super Bowl LVIII loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Lenoir -- and the rest of the team -- knows their clock is ticking. While appearing on "The Richard Sherman Podcast," Lenoir discussed seeking revenge against the Chiefs when the two teams face each other in Week 7 on Oct. 20 at Levi's Stadium, but the 49ers cornerback made it clear that the Revenge Tour doesn't end there.

"We got to get some type of get back and then in the end, get another get back," Lenoir explained. "We're 0-2 against them. This year, this is our year. And we're all determined and focused and we know what's at stake.
"We know this could possibly be the last dance -- so we know what needs to be done."
Lenoir added that the Week 7 matchup against Kansas City is a "must-win" game.
