Being No. 1 isn’t always good. Jimmy Garoppolo’s torn ACL in Week 3 of the NFL season tops the Top 10 list of 49ers stories in 2018.
Coming off a five-game win streak with their new quarterback under center to finish 2017, 49ers fans were hopeful for a playoff berth this season - until Garoppolo was carted off the field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo., on Sept. 23.
Three months later, the 49ers will take a 4-11 record into their season finale against the Rams on Sunday in Los Angeles, but not all has been bad in the Bay Area.
