"How many sacks can we get on Rivers? (@ljmb127) Prediction: Keion White and Bryce Huff each will sack Philip Rivers. However, the 49ers remained with an NFL-low 16 sacks after failing Sunday to catch Cam Ward, the Tennessee Titans' rookie who has been sacked a league-leading 49 times. Rivers, in his first game since 2020, got sacked just once in Seattle before leading the Colts to a go-ahead field goal."
"He has been sacked 465 times in 245 regular-season games; Aaron Rodgers holds the NFL record with 594 sacks in 261 games (and counting). Can they beat the rest of the teams? (@mamalu196) Yes. And they could lose to the rest of the teams. Maybe they peaked Sunday against the Titans to cap a four-game win streak against teams with a combined record of 15-41 (Cardinals 3-11, Panthers 7-7, Browns 3-11, Titans 2-12)."
"If the Niners win the next three but the Rams beat Seattle on Thursday night, do we know what seed we will be? (@jillsc13) That scenario would bump the 49ers up to at least the No. 5 seed and the first wild-card slot, although they could still win the division and the No. 1 seed if the Rams lose at either Atlanta (5-9) and/or against Arizona (3-11)."
The 49ers enter the week with an NFL-low 16 sacks and limited pass-rush production after failing to sack Titans rookie Cam Ward, who has been sacked a league-leading 49 times. Philip Rivers was sacked once in his return and has been sacked 465 times in 245 regular-season games. The 49ers' recent four-game win streak came against teams with a combined 15-41 record. A run of three more wins would guarantee at least the No. 5 seed and a wild-card berth, while division and top-seed chances depend on Rams results. Brandon Aiyuk has stepped away amid knee rehabilitation and an uneven relationship with the team.
