The 49ers faced off against the Tennessee Titans in the first game and it wasn’t a good game. The 49ers scored only 13 points, while the defense gave up 17 points, and that was enough for the four point victory. At the end of the first quarter, the game was tied 7-7, but they didn’t score again until the 4th quarter. Joshua Dobbs completed 14 of his 20 passes for 146 yards, zero touchdown, and one interception. Brandon Allen completed 7 of his 13 passes 98 yards, zero touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Davontavean Martin caught five passes for 58 yards. The 49ers need Dobbs to have another strong play here.
