SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Steve Wilks has had a roller coaster ride in his first season as defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. Faced with a task of taking over a successful defense that still had the same position coaches and system of his predecessor DeMeco Ryans, Wilks tried to add his own twists without ruining what had worked so well. There were good moments early and bad ones such as a three-game losing streak in October that led to Wilks moving from the coaching booth to the sideline. The season will end with Wilks calling plays in the Super Bowl against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
