The New England Patriots (1-2) will be taking on one of the NFL's best when traveling to Levi's Stadium for a head-to-head clash with the San Francisco 49ers (1-2).
It's a matchup that is closer than people might think with the 49ers getting hit with the injury bug as of late.
However, the Patriots might still be in trouble battling against a 49ers team that is much more talented on paper. There's no doubt San Francisco will come into this game as hungry as ever.
As we do every week, we're going to take a look at one Patriots player who may be able to turn the tide with a good performance, based on their matchup, other matchups around them and the overall trends of the season.
