Six years to the day since the 49ers last had a shot to play for their sixth Lombardi, the red and gold are back where they belong, a win away from a trip to Super Bowl 54 in Miami. With the help of Niners beat writer, David Lombardi, we dive into how San Francisco repeats its November result against the Pack, discuss the return of Richard Sherman to “Vintage Sherm” form, and learn how Jimmy Garappolo’s past set him up for the success he and the Niners have experienced this season.
