Another gauntlet
The 49ers last season played a stretch of games where they faced the Seahawks and Packers at home before road games in Baltimore and New Orleans. They have a similar stretch this year starting in Week 7 at the Patriots. Then they’re in Seattle for Week 8, home for Green Bay on Thursday night in Week 9, and at New Orleans for Week 10. All four of those clubs made the postseason a year ago.
