Looking At The 49ers
The 49ers are coming off a year where they were the third-place team in the NFC West with a 12-5 record.
After defeating the Philadelphia Eagles, they lost to the Seattle Seahawks in the Divisional Round.
On September 10, the 49ers will play their first game of the new season when they face off against the Los Angeles Rams.
