Even with that dud vs. the Baltimore Ravens, it’s safe to declare the San Francisco 49ers the team to beat in the NFC. Is there a team capable of stunning Kyle Shanahan’s crew in the postseason? That’s central to our NFC discussion this Saturday morning on the Go Long Show.

Dallas has the talent. Philadelphia reached the Super Bowl last season. Detroit is exorcising demons.

But is there another team out there capable of sneaking up on everyone? Baker Mayfield has the Tampa Bay Buccaneers primed to win the NFC South. The Bucs called their shot at Go Long ahead of this season — from Carlton Davis to the rest who believed. Mayfield should be the Comeback Player of the Year. Elsewhere, Sean McVay has faced Shanahan many times and Matthew Stafford won a Super Bowl just two years ago. The Rams are heating up at the right time.

Thanks for listening and sharing, everyone. (Here’s the Marcell Dareus story referenced, too.)
