Eagles 2020 Opponent Preview: San Francisco 49ers
Bleeding Green Nation’s 2020 Philadelphia Eagles opponent preview series continues today with their Week 4 enemy: the San Francisco 49ers. (Previously: Week 3 preview.)
The 49ers were the toast of the conference last season, going 13-3 en route to representing the NFC in Super Bowl LIV. Of course, the 49ers were also literally inches away from dropping to the No. 5 seed in Week 17.
Still, Kyle Shanahan oversaw an offense that improved from 30th in 2018 to a top five DVOA finish in 2019. The 49ers’ fearsome defensive line anchored a San Fran defense that finished second in DVOA.
