And yet the 49ers were one defensive play from being world champions over the Kansas City Chiefs not yet two years ago.
For all of the supposed 'gifted' QBs: Rodgers, Wilson, Prescott, and (for some reason) DeShaun Watson, Carson Wentz, and Sam Darnold (people strangely just refuse to give up on him), their teams haven't even sniffed near a Super Bowl.
And the Rams, even with a supposed all-world defense, have NEVER been able to stop Jimmy Garropolo; not ever. The 49ers must be doing something right.
