It may have been a stress-free weekend for 49ers fans, but if you were rooting for losses in the division you might find a bit of a bittersweet ending. The good news is, the 49ers remain a game ahead in the divisional race. They can improve things further by beating the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4. The problem is that the Cardinals aren’t tanking the right way, and they do play the 49ers hard, so that game could be a toss up.
If the 49ers can go to 4-0 and maybe 5-0 to start the season, it’s huge for both playoff seeding and divisional wins as they are starting to get that cushion.
