CBS Sports • • general
Key Points:
- The San Francisco 49ers, under coach Kyle Shanahan, have started the season 5-0, highlighted by a strong defensive performance against the Seattle Seahawks despite missing star pass rusher Nick Bosa.
- First-year defensive coordinator Raheem Morris has implemented an aggressive defensive scheme, resulting in increased takeaways, sacks, and tighter coverage, complementing Shanahan's offensive strategy.
- Quarterback Brock Purdy is delivering an MVP-caliber performance, contributing to the 49ers' position at the top of the Power Rankings and signaling the team's potential to contend for a Super Bowl.
- Shanahan, who previously came close to winning a Super Bowl in Super Bowl LVIII, may finally achieve that milestone this season if the team remains healthy and continues its strong play.
- At the other end of the rankings, the Miami Dolphins remain last at No. 32, with the Tennessee Titans close behind at No. 31; both teams have yet to win a game this season.
