Interesting parallels I've noticed:

- LAR in 2021 (MNF in wildcard vs. AZ, then played Sunday in TB - short rest, long flights) - came out hot but fell apart, lucky to connect with Kupp or that would have been a collapse too
This is the situation DAL is in this week. So if the pattern continues, they'd score and be up big, but then lose steam and eventually cave (or have a heroic save at the end).
We played 4 straight road games to end last season. Look at what we did to LA (high energy high octane), then Dallas (high octane, mediocre energy), then GB (offense non existent, STs / defense bails us out), and finally LA (major burnout down the stretch).
Dallas is playing their 4th straight road game. With 2 days less rest, travel cross country from TB to Dallas to SF, and playing on natural grass field.
they're in trouble…
This was always going to bite us last year. The hope was that Levi's South would have been enough to handle the fact that it was back-to-back-to-back-to-back travel to end the season.
