Who would have guessed after Jimmy G went down that and having to turn to a 7th round rookie would look like a Super Bowl team today? Much respect to the 49ers, and grats to them and their fans.

The principal reason for the 49ers to clinch their division was Brock Purdy. The rookie quarterback threw two touchdown passes, both connecting with George Kittle. RB Christian McCaffrey contributed significantly to the backfield’s stability.

The last time the Niners clinched the NFC West title, they had a 13-3 record and went to Super Bowl LVI against the Chiefs. However, they fell short of clinching the Lombardi. Last season, the team finished 10-7, entered the playoffs as a wild card, and advanced to the NFC Championship Game. They have a chance this year to bring the gold home.
