There are no style points in the NFL. Whether the San Francisco 49ers win by 21 or two today, they need to win. Historically speaking, Kyle Shanahan’s teams have performed quite well after the bye week. Today’s spot against the Tennessee Titans sets up well.

You have one coming off their second win of the season, despite being outgained by the Cleveland Browns. Those same Browns are getting blown out by the Chicago Bears, 31-3. Meanwhile, the 49ers are hot. They’ve strung together three wins in a row, with their defense playing relatively well. That should continue today against a quarterback who takes more sacks than anybody else in the NFL.
The other side of the ball is where it feels like a get-right spot. Yes, Christian McCaffrey is listed on the injury report, but it’s the passing game that should come alive. I’m looking at you, Ricky Pearsall. He gets a great matchup, and what better time to get your former first-round pick going than after the bye week?
