"Currently slotted as the No. 6 seed, the 49ers (9-4) close their regular season with 3-of-4 games at Levi's Stadium, starting Sunday there against the bottom-dwelling Tennessee Titans (2-11). This will be a big game for us to see, Hey, can we go out and score a ton of points?' My expectation is yes' and my hope is yes,' tight end George Kittle said."
"The 49ers are on a three-game win streak, but their season average of 23.6 points per game is scrawnier than any of coach Kyle Shanahan's four previous playoff teams, ranking them mid (16th) in the NFL. The Titans are 31st at just 15.5 points per game behind quarterback and No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward. They're getting outscored a league-worst 12 points per game."
"1. TACKLE BETTER Last game, the 49ers allowed 94 first-half rushing yards in Cleveland before making adjustments and prevailing 26-8 on Nov. 30. The bye week came at a perfect time. Our guys were getting a little tired, which probably led to the, you know we had a lot of missed tackles, for example, against Cleveland, defensive coordinator Robert Saleh said."
The San Francisco 49ers are 9-4 and currently the No. 6 seed, finishing the regular season with three of their final four games at Levi's Stadium.
