SANTA CLARA – Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks and MVP candidates are on the horizon for the 49ers defense.
Can they compensate for the loss of linebacker Kwon Alexander to a pectoral injury? Yes.

How truly dominant can Nick Bosa and the pass rush be? This is what’s made the 8-0 start so fascinating to watch, and that’s not stopping now.
Are they ready more than ever to face Russell Wilson, Lamar Jackson, Aaron Rodgers and Drew Brees?
