• Following Super Bowl LIV, the 2019 San Francisco 49ers defense would have faced 7 of the top 9 offenses in the NFL in total yds. per game [Bal. - 407.6 (2nd); TB - 397.9 (3rd); Atl. - 379.7 (5th); KC - 379.2 (6th); LAR - 374.9 (7th); Sea. - 374.4 (8th); NO - 373.9 (9th)], with the Niners offense ranking 4th in the NFL (381.1).
TO BE THE BEST...
• TE George Kittle and CB Richard Sherman each donated a pair of tickets to Super Bowl LIV to deserving individuals.
• In conjunction with USAA and TAPS, Kittle has chosen to donate his tickets to Josie and Nicolas LaMar, the family members of Ser-geant Martin “Mick” LaMar who was killed in 2011.
• As part of his WPMOY nomination, Sherman was given two tickets to donate and selected Jairo, a case manager for Fresh Lifelines for Youth (FLY), an organization that Sherman works with regular-ly. Jairo attends SJSU and is the first in his family to go to college.
COMMUNITY CORNER
SOMETHING SUPER• When the 49ers take

• With a win in Super Bowl LIV, the 49ers would join the New Eng-land Patriots and Pittsburgh Steelers as the only NFL franchises with 6 Super Bowl titles.
