The 49ers (6-4) can win their fourth straight game if their offense stays hot and their defense forces more turnovers against the New Orleans Saints (4-7).
1. Play on a short week of preparation, such as on a Sunday following a Monday night road game.
The 49ers qualify for that perfect storm. A three-game win streak has stroked their ego in what’s been an emotional and physical stretch ahead of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints .of the Arizona Cardinals in Mexico City has the 49ers feeling like world-beaters.
Before that 27-20 win over the Rams, coach Dennis Allen pondered a quarterback switch. The 49ers could be pondering the same, at least in terms of Dalton rotating with Taysom Hill, whose rushing ability and passing cameos date back to his time as Drew Brees’ potential heir apparent. Simply, the 49ers must be on alert for Hill’s rushing ability, but be more prepared for Dalton’s quick throws to Alvin Kamara, Chris Olave and Jarvis Landry). Dalton reportedly was on the 49ers’ radar in free agency before the Saints hired him .All three of Alvin Kamara’s touchdowns this season came in one game – a 24-0 shutout of the Raiders. He’s run for over 100 yards in only one game. He missed Thursday’s practice with an illness.
Tight end George Kittle also had two touchdown catches to declare at customs upon returning from Mexico. With Deebo Samuel limited in this week’s light practices because of a hamstring issue — he’s listed as questionable this game — the 49ers’ passing attack could lean more on its red-hot targets in Aiyuk and Kittle, not to mention Christian McCaffrey, who caught all seven of his targets Monday night.
