On the 49ers podcast with Joe:

SANTA CLARA–Jimmy Garoppolo is making his first San Francisco 49ers starting appearance in front of the home crowd at Levis Stadium this Sunday at quarterback. Garoppolo made his 49ers debut in front of the home crowd against the Seattle Seahawks on Sun Nov 26 after starter CJ Beathard got injured and Garoppolo was inserted in the final moments of the game in a final drive and got that touchdown that wowed the crowd.

It’s the last two weeks of the season that the fans are really charged up about with Garoppolo throwing two straight wins on the road in Chicago and in Houston. Now the 49ers can possibly put together three straight if they can get by the Mighty Tidy Tennessee Titans this Sunday. A win would improve their record to 4-10.
