The San Francisco 49ers have a claim as the hottest team in football. Winning three straight games and climbing to 9-4 on the season, the 49ers are ready to enter the bye week on a high note. Coming off a 26-8 victory over the Cleveland Browns, San Francisco potentially had one of the best Week 13's of any team in the NFL. The 49ers gained a game in the NFC West race thanks to a Los Angeles Rams loss to the Carolina Panthers. They now firmly hold a two-game lead for the seventh-seed in the Wild Card hunt, and climbed a half game out of the division lead.
Despite the celebratory victory, it's not all butterflies and rainbows for the red and gold as the injury bug has struck again. This time, taking out two key offensive players.
According to head coach Kyle Shanahan,
