Week 11 will see the San Francisco 49ers play their first game back following the bye week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The next game at Jacksoville on Sunday will be Kyle Shanahan’s squad’s midway point in the season.
Despite being on a three-game losing run at the moment, the 49ers are tied for first place in the league with a 5-3 record halfway through the season with the Seattle Seahawks.
