Well, this is certainly a big one. The 49ers are traveling to Foxborough, Massachusetts to face a Patriots team that is arguably playing as well as anybody in the AFC and really the NFL. The 49ers need to bring their A-game on both sides of the ball if they want to hang with these Patriots. It's pretty simple.

GO NINERS!
