3 numbers to know: The 49ers run defense will face its biggest test yet

Monday night will be the first time since 1993 and only the second time two teams with 11 or more wins meet in Week 16 or later when the 11-3 San Francisco 49ers host the 11-3 Baltimore Ravens.

With the Seahawks beating the Eagles last week, the 49ers have a game in hand, holding the tiebreaker over Philadelphia with one game lead in the NFC. That means Monday against the Ravens isn’t a must-win but a would-like-to-win in what could be a precursor to a February rematch in Vegas.

It’ll be a star-studded affair at Levi’s Stadium for the nightcap on Christmas.
