Patriots rooting guide: Go 49ers! While the result of today’s game will have no direct impact no the Patriots in terms of draft positioning or the like, San Francisco is still the team to root for — primarily for one reason: ex-Patriots. While the 49ers have three on their roster, the Chiefs field only one. Furthermore, long time New England wide receiver and current San Francisco assistant coach Wes Welker is trying to win his first Super Bowl in four tries. Add it all up, and the NFC champions become the team to root for.
