Richard Sherman dunks on critics who wanted 49ers to fire Kyle Shanahan

There's no shortage of amazement surrounding how the San Francisco 49ers are somehow 5-2 after seven weeks despite the exorbitant number of significant injuries they've suffered along the way.

Simply pick one of the Niners' big-ticket players -- Brock Purdy, George Kittle, Nick Bosa, Brandon Aiyuk, Fred Warner, etc. -- and chances are, they've either missed a significant chunk of the season already and/or are poised to miss the rest of it.

Despite these setbacks, and in light of San Francisco's Sunday Night Football win over the Atlanta Falcons a week after Warner's broken ankle, head coach Kyle Shanahan somehow seems to put together enough of a formula to keep his team on the right track.
