The San Francisco 49ers may have to rely on the ground game this Sunday.
The 49ers’ issues worsen as they prepare to travel to face the Green Bay Packers. Quarterback Brock Purdy has been declared out, and backup Brandon Allen will manage the huddle on Sunday. Snow was reported in Green Bay on Thursday, and while the forecast for Sunday doesn’t seem as nasty, this is Green Bay.
It could be a ground-and-pound game for the 49ers, who may want to focus on the running game rather than have Allen throw 40 times in the cold winds.
