What if I told you that the 49ers’ championship hopes did not rest on their number one ranked defense but instead on the surgically repaired shoulder of the quarterback who they had all but replaced just a few short months ago?
The defense is this team’s heart and soul, and what they are doing through five games is nothing short of spectacular. They are the best defense in the entire NFL and have proven they can dominate games week after week. However, the greatness they have displayed can only take this team so far.
A team with a defense this talented is more than capable of winning ten-plus games.
