To quote the great Ric Flair: “To be the man, you gotta beat the man.” That’s relevant when you look at the 49ers 3-0 start.
Being 3-0 in the NFL is impressive, but you have to remember that there are still 13 more games to play. Furthermore, those three wins are against teams that have a combined one win. Only the Tampa Bay Buccaneers have managed to squeeze out a single ‘W.’
The NFC has the Cleveland Browns, the Los Angeles Rams, the Green Bay Packers, you name it, but a lot of contenders.
