And they’ve talked about it on Twitter, too.
For 24 hours after the schedule was released at 5 p.m. PT on April 21, we monitored how many times the keyword “49ers” was mentioned on Twitter along with the name of each 2015 opponent.
We ran the same report in 2014 and again, the games against the Seattle Seahawks topped the list with 24 precent of all 49ers schedule-related mentions (29.3 percent in 2014).
The San Francisco 49ers first road test of the season, a Week 2 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers, garnered 20.6 percent of all mentions, ranking a close second on our list.
