Are the Niners set up for a Week 1 letdown? Or will they meet their lofty expectations on Monday Night Football against the Jets?
The San Francisco 49ers are set to face off against the New York Jets on Sept. 9th in their Week 1 season opener. This key Monday Night Football matchup could set the tone for the rest of the season for the Niners.
The Niners are coming off another postseason heartbreak with their loss in the Super Bowl last February. This game could tell us a lot about whether the team is hellbent on redemption, or if this is the beginning of the end of this team’s success under head coach Kyle Shanahan.
