Hell, the 49ers are usually having to be at the top of their game in order to achieve those type of similar results.
-they were extremely fortunate and lucky to win the division
-They got to play Sam Darnold in the playoffs
-Philly was extremely injured playing them, especially their quarterback, so I don't know the point to saying they narrowly lost when the Eagles were playing prevent defense on that second to last drive up 13 points
"To have those kind of results" all the Niners had to do was be lucky, like playing the Bengals in the Super Bowl instead of the Chiefs, or Greenlaw not being injured in the SB, or Weston Richburg and DJ Jones, not being injured in the first Super Bowl. A ton of luck.
