SANTA CLARA- The San Francisco 49ers will look to earn their first win of the preseason on Sunday as they will host the San Diego Chargers in the second preseason home game at Levi’s Stadium.

The 49ers were defeated by Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos 34-0 yesterday in the preseason home opener at Levis. San Francisco’s first team offense moved the ball but were unable to put any points on the board because of two missed field goals by kicker Phil Dawson.

Coach Jim Harbaugh said that he was not worried about his offense putting up only 3 points in their first two preseason games. Harbaugh commented on the upcoming week in preparation for the Chargers.

“It’s going to be a big week, we need to make decisions on who we are going with. We cant keep experimenting,” said Harbaugh.

The Chargers will be the third prrseason game, and the third gane of the exhibition season typically results in the increase of playing rime for starters for most teams.

The new stadium brought a lot of excitement to the game, but quarterback Colin Kaepernick said it did not make much of a difference on the field.

“When you’re on the field a field is a field. It didnt make too much of a difference. I think here we’ll get more noise in our favor, but thats about it,” said the dual threat quarterback.

The 49ers will host the Chargers this Sunday at 1 pm before wrapping up the preseason in Houston with the Texans the following week.
