There’s plenty to like about the San Francisco 49ers in 2019.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan’s squad is 12-3 and one win away from clinching the NFC West for the first time since 2012, which would also put the team into the No. 1 seed in the NFC playoff picture.

One might guess you probably didn’t predict any one of those three scenarios being the case when you looked at the Niners’ landscape heading into training camp many months ago.
