The 49ers need this one as the Seahawks won their matchup against the Bills. A loss will cut their lead to just .5 games.
-------------------WELCOME TO THE LIVE BLOG------------------------
An exciting day of football will wrap up with first place teams on the field as the San Francisco 49ers take on the New England Patriots for Week 15s Sunday Night Football.
The Patriots being to the field the best offense in the NFL. They are beating down opponents and are on an EIGHT GAME WINNING STREAK.
As for the 49ers, they have slacked in previous weeks allowing the Seahawks to not only become a force in the NFC Wild Card, but a force out of the NFC West with chances of winning the division.
At one point, the 49ers had the best defense on the NFL. Though they lost to the St. Louis Rams, the 49ers are still dangerous.
The Patriots' offensive line will have to worry about contending against the Smith Bros on defense, Alvin and Justin.
However, don't look for Tom Brady to be scared in the pocket. Last week he had plenty of protection giving him time to step up and make passes down the field. J.J. Watt became irrelevant in that matchup and was barely able to disrupt plays.
Brady and his offense were able to light up the No. 1 seed Houston Texans.
All of a sudden the Patriots are a Super Bowl favorite and their 3-3 start has been erased.
