Defensive players

After losing Javon Hargrave for the season, his replacements on defense stepped up in a major way. Jordan Elliott, Yetur Gross-Matos, Sam Okuayinonu and Kevin Givens all contributed towards stifling New England’s offense – Sam Okuayinonu made his presence felt by forcing Rhamondre Stevenson’s hand and forcing a fumble, recovered by Maliek Collins.

San Francisco All-Pro Linebacker Brian Smith continued his assault on New England’s backfield, sacking Brissett twice in the second quarter and setting up San Francisco’s second defensive touchdown of the game, when Tyquan Thornton ran it in for 45 yards under triple coverage to extend San Francisco’s lead to 13-0 with 14:01 remaining in the quarter.

Offensive players

This weekend, the New England Patriots head to Levi’s Stadium for a game against San Francisco 49ers with both teams looking to rebound after back-to-back losses in Weeks 1 and 2. It will mark their first visit since 2016.

Last season, New England defeated San Francisco 30-17 and will need to establish the run game quickly against an 49ers defense that ranks 22nd against it. The Niners have allowed just 104 yards per game on the ground this season and boast some excellent backfield talent in Christian McCaffrey, Jordan Mason and Jauan Jennings – though neither are likely to play this week due to injuries. Mason will likely become their primary running back and should see significant carries.

The Patriots have had difficulty with both pass rush and protection so far this season, starting up front where an inconsistent offensive line has not provided enough protection to Jacoby Brissett. A test will come from facing off against a 49ers secondary that has shown steady performance through three weeks.

This game marks an important test for the 49ers as they seek to improve their standing in the NFC West. After an unsuccessful start this season, their playoff hopes depend on them winning this matchup and maintaining a positive record in order to keep alive any playoff hopes they might still possess.

In their passing game, the 49ers have struggled to make an impression this season; however, quarterback Brock Purdy has been an incredible asset to them, throwing for 842 yards and four touchdowns so far this season.

Additionally, tight end George Kittle has been instrumental in driving offense this year; however, on Tuesday due to an ankle injury he was limited in practice and remains uncertain for Thursday’s match-up with Denver.

The Patriots have shown they can create turnovers this season, yet have failed to stop other teams from scoring on the other side of the ball. If they want to continue winning games, they need to improve their special teams performance in order to remain victorious.

Linebackers

Patriots linebackers Wes Hodge and James White should see action against an impressive 49ers defense. Hodge is considered the top run-stuffing inside linebacker while White can serve as an all-purpose defender.

Both players will need to step up their games when facing such a formidable San Francisco front, enhanced even further with Trysten Hill (an upgrade from their practice squad status this week) and Mitchell Wilcox making their debuts from this week’s practice squad – with Wilcox making his practice squad debut from San Francisco practice squad practice squad this week and Wilcox expected to debut from this game as well.

Special teams

The Patriots made several roster adjustments before Sunday’s game, adding CB Isaiah Bolden to their 53-man squad and elevating DT Trysten Hill and TE Mitchell Wilcox from their practice squad. Bolden should provide size to an otherwise smaller secondary that’s missing Alex Austin (ankle injury) while veteran CB Jonathan Jones remains questionable with shoulder pain.

New England will face an impressive group of 49ers receivers led by breakout star Jauan Jennings who runs routes both from slot receiver and wideout positions; thus far this season both teams have featured in special teams games totalling 59 players who’ve appeared 59 special teams games between them compared with this season alone!
