Film study: Why Fred Warner is crucial to Niners defense

The San Francisco 49ers improbably have earned a spot in the NFC Championship Game.

The sixth-seeded Niners were road underdogs against the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers. Undeterred, San Francisco won those games by six and three points, respectively.

Now, the Niners meet a familiar foe in the NFC West-rival Los Angeles Rams with a trip to Super Bowl LVI at stake.

San Francisco’s defense is playing at a high level, having only allowed three touchdowns in those two games. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers only reached the end zone once last week, and when we dove into the film, we saw why.
