SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The most anticipated game of the regular season, to this point, has finally arrived.
9-1 vs. 8-2. Here are five things to watch:
1. Big numbers: Packers RB Aaron Jones enters the final six games of the regular season with 14 touchdowns. The last Green Bay player to have more than 14 in a single season? Jordy Nelson, with 15 in 2011. The last one to have more than 15? Ahman Green, with a franchise-record 20 in 2003.
2. Protection part I: The 49ers have racked up 39 sacks through 10 games and have four players with five or more this season (though one of them, Dee Ford, is injured). So the Packers’ protection of QB Aaron Rodgers, which has experienced more struggles on the road than at home, is a primary focus. The 49ers don’t blitz much, relying on their front four to get home. It’ll be a night of one-on-ones.
