The San Francisco 49ers spent a majority of this season in the cellar. After an 0-9 start, they sat firmly in either the 31st or 32nd spot on everyone's power rankings. But now the 49ers are finally rising up the charts after rattling off four-straight wins.
Jimmy Garoppolo has made everyone a believer. Any remaining skeptics have jumped on board after Garoppolo and the 49ers put up 44 points against the Jacksonville Jaguars and their top-ranked scoring defense in Week 16.
