Could today bring the 49ers’ next epic battle with the Atlanta Falcons?
ATLANTA – Kyle Shanahan isn’t getting sentimental, even if Sunday marks his first game in this town since winning the NFC Championship.
He was the 2016 Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator back then, before an ensuing Super Bowl heartbreaker, before the 49ers hired him as their coach, before the Falcons franchise underwent an overhaul. “It’s been a long time, and I’ve played against them a number of times, and it’s always about the people,” Shanahan said Friday, before the 49ers left their week-long hostel at The Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia.
Shanahan correctly listed linemen Grady Jarrett and Jake Matthews as the only Falcons remaining from his 2015-16 term as coordinator. Shanahan’s 49ers have played twice at Levi’s Stadium, losing late in 2019 and winning in last year’s playoff push. But the 49ers-Falcons series dates back to 1967 in the NFC West origins, and while Shanahan may not be nostalgic, here are 10 memorable games heading into today’s between the 49ers and the Falcons :Atlanta’s Billy “White Shoes” Johnson catches on a Hail Mary touchdown pass to win at Candlestick. Earlier, Renaldo Nehemiah got leveled on a hit over the middle by Kenny Johnson.
