Week 8 may be the 49ers’ toughest test of the year when they welcome in a red-hot Panthers team that boasts the best defense the 49ers have faced, and an MVP candidate on offense with running back Christian McCaffrey.
This is another chance for the 49ers to prove their 6-0 start isn’t a fluke that’s come from a relatively soft schedule. A win over the Panthers, a bona fide playoff contender, would help San Francisco check off another box on its path to its postseason berth since the 2013 season.
