The 49ers winning streak is going to receive a serious challenge this week against a Panthers team that is playing (almost) as well as San Francisco. The 49ers are the better team top to bottom though, and if they can avoid any letdown from a week off, will stretch their winning streak to six.

San Francisco has hit the midway point in their season and with a 6-2 record, they have to be happy with the overall play of the team.

After his struggles in the return game Sunday, Kyle Williams should be one of the several roster cuts San Francisco is going to have to make as they welcome back several players.

Colin Kaepernick threw for 199 yards and ran for 68 and a touchdown, helping the San Francisco 49ers start their longest road trip this season by beating the Tennessee Titans 31-17 Sunday.
While no 49er has been ruled out yet, both the 49ers and Titans appear as though they will be without at least one of their key run stoppers. Other defensive players have also been limited in practice, and as a result, both teams should look to rush the ball early and often.
