Overview: For the third time in 49ers
history, they enter a season on the
rebound from a Super Bowl loss. An
all-business approach could serve as this
year’s elixir to the dreaded Super Bowl
hangover. Part of that business, of course,
involves money. Christian McCaffrey
received a two-year extension in June as
the 49ers’ first NFL rushing champion
since Joe “The Jet” Perry in 1954. With so
much star power still emanating from the
49ers’ roster, the team will be featured in
six prime-time kickoffs.
