Nobody will have a tougher eight-day stretch this NFL season than the San Francisco 49ers.
First up was a trip to the East Coast and an early start against the Baltimore Ravens. In a physical, entertaining game, the 49ers lost on a field goal on the final play.
The reward for that tough loss is a trip to the Superdome to face the 10-2 New Orleans Saints. There’s no time to rest in the NFL.
Here is what’s at stake for the 49ers: Win and they’ll be 11-2 and still in line to be the No.
