My favorite part about covering this playoff run has been the all but impossible to quantify the sense of magic surrounding this 49ers team. At every turn, they have been doubted, yet when they have been faced with seemingly insurmountable levels of adversity, they not only responded, they triumphed by doing the spectacular when the chips were down, and the pressure was at its highest.
What’s fascinating to me is that this run has been propelled by a roster that is filled with players who are no strangers to persevering in the face of the inconceivable.
