Gameday: New Orleans Saints at San Francisco 49ers

The undefeated Miami Dolphins' 70-20 win over the winless Denver Broncos has shot them to the top of multiple power rankings. However, for most, the San Francisco 49ers sit in the top spot. Also undefeated and sitting atop the NFC West standings, the 49ers are coming off a 30-12 win over the New York Giants.

San Francisco has started the regular season 3-0 for the ninth time in franchise history and has now won 13 consecutive regular-season games dating back to Week 8 of last season.

As a result, the 49ers have the NFL's third-best scoring offense through three weeks, trailing just the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins, the latter having taken the league by storm with a 70-point performance last weekend. The Dolphins have been one of the most explosive offenses since hiring head coach Mike McDaniel, a disciple of 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, last offseason. Year by year, however, there's a period of evolution in the NFL, and explosive offenses remain explosive with a new touch added to

In the midst of the 2023 season, the San Francisco 49ers took some attention away from their 3-0 start and rewarded head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch with multi-year extensions, tying them to the franchise for the foreseeable future.
