49ers' Shanahan has closed an incredible gap to Coach of the Year contender

The 49ers may or may not run down the Philadelphia Eagles for the NFC's top seed, but they have come back from a large deficit in one race.

In sportsbooks like FanDuel, DraftKings and MGM, Kyle Shanahan has surpassed second-year head coach Nick Sirianni as the favorite to win Coach of the Year.

Sirianni was the frontrunner for most of this season as the Eagles jumped out to an impressive 8-0 start, and even after the team suffered its first loss, his Birds were flying high as arguably the best in the league.
