Mike Lewis and Manish Tripathi at Emory Sports Marketing Analytics released their list of
the best fans in the NFL. They define "best" as "the most avid, engaged, passionate and supportive fans."
The Dallas Cowboys took the top spot. Interesting considering that San Francisco 49ers fans, who came in 10th overall, took over AT&T Stadium in Dallas during week one last season, essentially making it feel like a home game for the visiting 49ers.
NFL.com states that the study relied heavily on market outcomes like attendance, prices, and revenues, so take it for what it is worth. Obviously a fan base that spends larger amounts of money on their team are likely to get a higher ranking.
The 49ers did rank at the top among NFC West teams. The next closest division team was the Arizona Cardinals. The rival Seattle Sehawks, who have one of the loudest home stadiums in the NFL, ranked dead last among NFC West teams.
Below is a list of where the NFC West teams ranked in the study.
San Francisco 49ers (10th)
Arizona Cardinals (19th)
St. Louis Rams (23rd)
Seattle Seahawks (26th)

Recap: 49ers blast Eagles 42-19 in feisty NFC Championship rematch
For months, the San Francisco 49ers talked the talk, and on Sunday, they walked the walk.
The 49ers made it clear on multiple occasions over the offseason they felt they would have beaten the Philadelphia Eagles in last season's NFC Championship game had they not lost quarterback Brock Purdy due to injury, and they had the chance to prove it in a
NFC playoff picture after 49ers beat Eagles
The San Francisco 49ers emerged victorious over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, dismantling the home team 42-19, improving their record to 9-3 by handing the Eagles their second loss of the season. What does this mean for the NFC playoff picture?

However, the 49ers, now owning a 9-3 record, are within striking distance and have secured the potentially crucial head-to-head tiebreaker. Should the Eagles falter in the remaining stretch of the season, the 49ers could surpass them in the conference standings.
Looking ahead, the 49ers
