Still, the 49ers in the playoffs have been pretty stifling. KC's has done what they needed to do, but have not looked dominant in certain quarters.

It doesn’t come down to just who you play. It was a completely new defensive scheme with a new defensive coordinator and mostly new players. That shit takes time to gel. Players and coaches will tell you that exact same thing. The Titans loss was the game that flipped the switch with this defense. Pennel and Suggs were added and the defense started playing differently. Plus Clark wasn’t anywhere close to 100% in the beginning of the season and we had a rookie FS learning as he was playing.
Are we the 85 Bears? No but this defense is good enough to get some stops and give the ball back to the offense. That’s all it takes to win games.
