This afternoon, the Titans will host the San Francisco 49ers at LP Field in Nashville, Tennessee. The two teams last met on November 8, 2009 when the Titans beat the 49ers 34-27 in San Francisco.

The 49ers are looking for their fourth consecutive victory while the Titans are looking to avoid a third straight loss.

During the past four games, he has averaged just over 104 yards per game.
