49ers’ Singletary not satisfied with 2-0

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — Mike Singletary is the toughest of critics, never one for handing out too much praise to his San Francisco 49ers — even at 2-0, with wins over two teams considered the NFC West contenders.

“We’ve been 2-0 before,” Singletary said. “We haven’t been 3-0 since I’ve been here. That’s the next step.”

Getting there would mean a road victory over Brett Favre and fellow unbeaten Minnesota this week.

San Francisco certainly appears headed up — the only direction the Niners can go on the heels of a franchise-worst six straight losing seasons — in Singletary’s first full year in charge.
