How the 49ers have evolved into one of the best secondaries in the NFL

A couple of seasons ago, when the San Francisco 49ers faced off against the Los Angeles Rams in 2021 NFC Championship, it was tough sledding for the Niners secondary. Matthew Stafford completed 31 of his 45 passes for 337 yards.

Safety Jaquiski Tartt gets the brunt of the blame for a dropped interception, but nickel corner K’Waun Williams gave up nine receptions on 11 targets for 85 yards, four first downs, and a touchdown. Ambry Thomas was forced into action as a rookie. He competed, which was all you could ask, and did a fine job of limiting the big play.
