NFL Network’s Dan Hanzus has the 49ers as the league’s No. 1 team in his latest Power Rankings — along with a perfect, yet frightening, analogy.
"… It’s a bunch of things that have come together here for the Niners," Hanzus continued."Obviously, the defense led by Nick Bosa is dominant. DeMeco Ryans has got them coached up, they’re playing out of their minds. We know what’s going on with Brock Purdy who’s stepped in and done exactly, best-case scenario, what they could have hoped for from a rookie, seventh-round pick.
"And the reason they jump ahead of the Eagles, it’s simple," Hanzus said."It’s just, this team is playing at a top level on both sides of the ball, while the Eagles now are going through a little bit of stuff with Jalen Hurts out of the lineup one week. They lose to the [Dallas] Cowboys. Lane Johnson’s injury is huge -- we’re going to see what that means for their running game and their passing game. So, Niners jump a spot. I still love the Eagles, but this is where it is.
The 49ers' depth and next-man-up mentality has helped them overcome injuries to key players on offense and defense this season, while the Eagles weren't able to overcome setbacks of their own against Dallas. Even without a catalyst like Samuel on the field at the moment, they've outlasted their opponents and have proven themselves as a force to be reckoned with.
