Who you got on Sunday?
Posted on Oct 10, 2025 | 11:45am
It'll be a battle for NFC bragging rights when the Buccaneers host the 49ers at 4:25 PM ET on Sunday.
Heading into the game, the 49ers and Bucs are division leaders with matching 4-1 records that also make them, along with the Lions, conference leaders. Sunday's winning squad remains atop the NFC standings; the losers will aim to regroup.
Head coach Kyle Shannahan's 49ers are coming off an overtime W over their NFC West rivals, the Rams. But the team is about as banged up as it is hot. As of publication, starting quarterback Brock Purdy and backup Mac Jones are among the Niners listed as questionable for the Bucs game.
The Buccaneers, one game up in the loss column over the Falcons in the NFC South, pulled off their own heart-stopping Week 5 win: a back-and-forth, last-minute comeback over the Seahawks. Quarterback Baker Mayfield stoked MVP talk with his 379-yard, two-touchdown passing performance in Seattle.
