But the 49ers another low hit in 2018, when Garoppolo tore his ACL in Week 3, coincidentally against Sunday’s opponent for Super Bowl LIV, the Kansas City Chiefs. When you look back on everything, it really makes you realize how special this moment is.”The team’s struggles without Garoppolo in 2018 eventually helped reinforce the foundation for this season’s run to the Super Bowl. During the 49ers’ last Super Bowl victory, he was a 15-year-old ball boy for the team, whose offensive coordinator was his father, Mike Shanahan. “I was on the sidelines that game,” Kyle Shanahan said of Super Bowl XXIX, the second of two 49ers Super Bowl wins in Miami. “You don’t know if you’re ever going to be back here, so gotta make it count while you can.”–Field Level Media
