The next installment of my series highlighting the most outstanding individual performances we saw from 49ers players during this past season will focus on the defensive side of the ball and a transcendent performance from a member of the front seven.
As a refresher, the factors I used to create this list include how did each performance hold up with the eye test. After going back and watching the game film, was it as impressive now as it was at the time?
I also heavily weighed the game’s impact, meaning the stakes of each contest played a pivotal role in how these rankings ultimately played out—finally, good old-fashioned statistics.
