The San Francisco 49ers will play another first place schedule in 2024 after wrapping up the NFC West.
This season was supposed to feature a couple of different stretches coming into the year, and it certainly panned out that way. From Week 5 through Week 8 looked like it would be a challenge, and, sure enough, the Niners lost three in a row.
A Niners loss to the Ravens wasn’t all that surprising. Baltimore is the “other” best team in the NFL. But San Francisco took care of the Seattle-Philadelphia-Seattle stretch, and didn’t have a letdown in the games before or after.
