In 2019, there was a stretch of the San Francisco 49ers’ schedule that I called The Gauntlet. It was a stretch later in the season that put them in three games against what many considered the leagues best at that point. The games were Week 12 in a home game against the Green Bay Packers where Aaron Rodgers was flat out embarrassed, After that were two away games: Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens in a game the 49ers may have won had weather conditions been better, and Week 14 against the New Orleans Saints in a high-scoring game where the defense took the day off.
Do the 49ers have a “Gauntlet” stretch on their schedule?
