Kyle Shanahan fully believes that the San Francisco 49ers were the best team in football during the 2019 season, and hasn't ruled out their chances of winning the Super Bowl this time around either.
The 2020 Super Bowl saw the 49ers take on the Kansas City Chiefs, and Patrick Mahomes led his side to victory with a 31-20 win over the Californian franchise. The two organisations will meet again on Sunday in a repeat of the 2020 final, and head coach Shanahan has been reflecting on the past ahead of their week seven clash.
Shanahan firmly believes that the 49ers were the best team in the NFL back then, and even with a 3-3 record this season, he's backing them to be in the conversation towards the end of the year. Mahomes was hailed for his brilliance in the 2020 Super Bowl, but Shanahan believes it was the 49ers that threw it away more than the Chiefs outclassing them.
