The 49ers are looking to make it three wins in a row as they travel to Atlanta to take on the Falcons in Week 6.

Kyle Shanahan's squad is fresh off a dominant win over another NFC South team — the Panthers — last Sunday. 

Niners fans took over Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte as Jimmy Garoppolo threw for two touchdowns and Jeff Wilson ran for 120 yards and a touchdown. The victory gave San Francisco (3-2) a winning record for the first time this season after two disappointing losses in their first three games.

Meanwhile, the Falcons (2-3) dropped a close one to Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in Week 5. 

To Atlanta's credit, it continues to put up a fight in its games. In fact, all of its losses so far have been by just one possession. 

Against the Bucs, a very questionable roughing the passer call on Grady Jarrett in the final minutes did the Falcons no favors as they looked to pull off a comeback. Instead of getting the ball back, Atlanta watched Tampa Bay run down the clock to seal the win.

Still, Falcons fans can still feel relatively pleased with the start to a season that was supposed to be a full-on rebuild — especially considering their record could be better if just a few plays had gone their way. 

Will the 49ers make it three in a row? Or will the Falcons get a vital home win?
