The San Francisco 49ers (2-2) will look to win back-to-back games for the first time this season when they face the Carolina Panthers (1-3) on Sunday at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte.
The NFL schedule makers were not kind to the 49ers. Short weeks are tough on the body. A short week that includes cross country travel is even more difficult.
Despite what their records might suggest, Carolina will provide a test for the 49ers. The Panthers have outscored San Francisco, 78-71. In addition, the Panthers defense has proven to be solid.
Sunday’s game also marks the first of a two-week road trip.
