Monday Night Football, Week 12. Tonight the San Francisco 49ers host the Carolina Panthers. The game is scheduled to kickoff at 8:15 p.m. EST.
The San Francisco 49ers come into this game with a 7-4 record, good for third place in the highly competitive NFC West. They have alternated wins and losses for each of the last nine games. Last week the 49ers defeated the Arizona Cardinals, 41 – 22. The 49ers’ primary issue has been turnovers. In five of their 11 games the 49ers have not forced a single turnover on defense, and they have only won the turnover battle twice all season. It’s tough to win a lot of games that way.
The Carolina Panthers come into this game with a 6-5 record, good for first place in the NFC South. After getting off to a 1-3 start to the season, the Panthers have been surging. They have won five of their last seven games. The Panthers are coming off a 30 – 27 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons last week. Panthers quarterback Bryce Young had arguably the finest game of his brief NFL career last week, throwing for 448 yards, three touchdowns and zero interceptions.
The 49ers have a 2-2 home record this season. The Panthers are 3-3 on the road, but they have won each of their last three road games.
It’s the 49ers and the Panthers tonight on Monday Night Football. Enjoy the game everyone.
