This could have been a Super Bowl rematch, but the 49ers lost at home in overtime of the NFC Championship game against the Giants last season, which denied them a chance to face the Patriots. They get that chance now, confident of the balanced team they’re bringing to Gillette Stadium, and convinced they’re good enough to leave town with a statement win.
The Houston Texans felt the same way two days ago.
