This week the Packers have a third straight national game, heading to San Francisco to take on the 49ers on Sunday night football.  We start on offense (00:02:50), taking a look at how the Packers may need to attack the 49ers defense, including some very difficult matchups in their front seven in Nick Bosa, Dee Ford, and Fred Warner, among others.  We also discuss how we think this young Packers offensive line hold up, particularly if Elgton Jenkins is unable to go, and whether this may be the week we see a heavier workload for AJ Dillon, before looking at how Aaron Rodgers and the pass offense will need to attack the 49ers secondary.  Next, we break down the matchups on the defensive side of the ball (00:23:25), in a game that starts and ends with the ability of the Packers front seven to do anything to slow down the 49ers running game.
