Friday saw the 49ers return to Levi’s Stadium for as game-like a setting as there has been since their 37-20 trouncing of the Green Bay Packers on January 19.
Thursday saw the 49ers stash away two of their key offseason acquisitions on injured reserve in rookie wide receiver Jalen Hurd and veteran cornerback Jason Verrett.
The 49ers tried to give the game away to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, but thanks to a performance that was nothing short of heroic by the defense, they escaped with their first 3-0 record since 1998.
