I personally think this is the most difficult game left on the schedule. At the start of the season, it was fair to wonder how pieces might gel in Jim Harbaugh’s first year on the job, and this team is still something of a work in progress.
But there’s a reason Harbaugh was the top coach on my wishlist, and it has everything to do with his success at every stop. He and this team’s brass have given Justin Herbert better protection, and Herbert has looked every bit like the superstar he ought to be, throwing 13 touchdowns against a single interception.
