"It's that time of year you've got to show up, otherwise we're going to be out of it."
"The bye week came at a perfect time. Our guys were getting a little tired, which probably led to the, you know we had a lot of missed tackles, for example, against Cleveland,"
"There's a direct correlation between being tired and missed tackles for football teams throughout the course of the year."
The San Francisco 49ers (9-4) enter the final stretch as the No. 6 seed with three of their last four regular-season games at Levi's Stadium, beginning against the Tennessee Titans (2-11). The 49ers have a three-game win streak but average just 23.6 points per game, ranking 16th in scoring. The Titans score 15.5 points per game and are being outscored by 12 points per game. Coaches emphasize improving tackling after missed tackles in Cleveland, noting fatigue contributed to errors. Curtis Robinson will call defensive signals with Tatum Bethune sidelined by an ankle injury, and Fred Warner is accelerating ankle rehab. Titans running back Tony Pollard recently rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns.
