Change in secondary could hinder 49ers chances to make, win Super Bowl

The 49ers made an interesting decision in their divisional playoff matchup against the Green Bay Packers, and moving forward with that decision could wind up costing them a Super Bowl.

Despite rookie safety Ji’Ayir Brown getting healthy enough to suit up for the postseason, it was veteran Logan Ryan lining up alongside Tashaun Gipson for San Francisco’s playoff opener.

Brown injured his knee in Week 16 against the Ravens and missed Weeks 17 and 18, but was back in practice to ramp up to the postseason.
