Aaron Rodgers is really good

Getting two bad games out of Rodgers in the same season is hard, and the 49ers held Rodgers to arguably his worst statistical outing of his career their last time facing each other. He threw for just 104 yards on 33 attempts. Rodgers is looking more comfortable in the Packers offense now though, and a closer game will allow the run game to be a bigger factor and not allow the 49ers defense to key on that passing attack. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said during the week that the Packers are never out of a game with Rodgers under center, and that’s why he’s a concern as long as he’s playing.

How the 49ers combat this concern:

It’s all about the pass rush. If the 49ers can move Rodgers off his spot and force him to improvise with a receiving corps largely made up of players he doesn’t have a great rapport with, they’ll force him into another sub-par game.
