“We came up a little short in the Super Bowl, but we had a great season last year,” Rice told 49ers team reporter Keiana Martin on Instagram Live. “I feel like they still have all those pieces in place right now. The time is now for the San Francisco 49ers. It’s right now. You can’t be looking down the road. You’ve got everybody in place right now, so you need to get it done.”
Rice did emphasize that while San Francisco is among the best in the NFL, making it to the Super Bowl means teams always will bring their A-game.
“I think you’re a target now,” Rice explained, “because every team is going to give you their best shot. Every game is going to be like a playoff game, and I have gone through this. It’s hard the next year. You’ve got to battle through, but I feel like they have the players that can do that.”
