3 key matchups that could decide 49ers vs. Packers

The next three games for the 49ers won’t be easy and the stretch begins against the current No. 2 seed in the NFC Green Bay Packers.

This could be the matchup that decides how Adams does against Sherman. Bosa vs. Bakhtiari is the matchup that features the most talent between two players who will line up directly against each other. Bosa hasn’t had a sack the last three games, but those three games have been against extremely mobile quarterbacks. Rodgers has the ability to move around in the pocket, but he isn’t as explosive as Kyler Murray or Russell Wilson. Bosa should have enough speed to get to Rodgers off the edge without having to fear a big play on the ground if he slips outside the pocket. Bakhtiari has been in the upper tier of left tackles for the past several years, and will have his hands full with the rookie pass rusher.
