The 49ers are hosting the Carolina Panthers at Levi’s Stadium on Monday night with improved position in the NFC playoff hunt on the line.
Carolina (6-5) is one game behind the Niners (7-4) for the seventh and final seed in the NFC with six games remaining for both teams this season. The winner will hold a head-to-head tiebreaker in a crowded NFC field.
The primetime game is also Christian McCaffrey’s first game against the team that drafted him eighth overall out of Stanford in 2017, saw him honored on the All-Pro teams twice (first team in 2019), then traded him to San Francisco in 2022.
