ESPN's Brian Burke highlighted the 49ers' rest differential for the upcoming season, noting it as one of the three worst since 2002, alongside the 2012 Philadelphia Eagles and the 2005 San Diego Chargers.
"I promise I didn't really think about it," Shanahan told reporters. "And he gave me some questions before, he said we have four of them coming off a bye. I was like, 'Isn't that what we had last year?' So maybe we had less. I don't know what we had last year, but I feel like we had a lot last year, too. So I try not to think much of it."
When asked whether the rest differential was a big deal, Shanahan made it clear that he wouldn't lose any sleep over it. "I know what our preference would be," Shanahan said. "But you never know whether that affects you or not until you get there."
