The 49ers after suffering six straight loses had a bye last week Joe looks at how crucial it is for the 49ers getting a bye last week and getting some rest. The New Orleans Saints who head to Levis Stadium are one of the top passing teams in the NFL as quarterback Drew Brees has been averaging 327 yards per game. The 49ers are one of the worst pass rushing teams in the NFL and their chances of sacking Brees is relatively small.
