It's really a gut check game for the defense, isn't it. They will be at home, playing a 49ers team that's struggling on offense and has given up a lot of sacks. They're undermanned at running back and receiver. Except maybe for a road game in Denver, this is as easy as it's going to get for the defense for at least a few weeks. They have a chance to make a statement here - hey, we're not total garbage - in a favorable situation, and if they aren't then they should.
