That’s why San Francisco management went out and got kicker Phil Dawson. Since that time, the 49ers have become a top special teams unit once again, ranking seventh overall according to Football Outsiders in 2013, with Lee’s punt-and-coverage teams ranking second, Dawson’s kickand coverage teams ranking third and Dawson’s field-goal/extrapoint game rating fourth in the NFL. San Francisco’s own kick and punt return games, with six different returners, may have been a bit subpar, but the problems of 2012 appear gone for good. Prediction If the past three years are any indication, the 49ers will win a dozen times—give or take one—reach the NFC Championship game and then flip a coin to see whether they can beat fellow conference co-favorite and defending Super Bowl champion, Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers are 4-3 in three years against the Seahawks, and this season’s race looks just as tight.
