"If you look at what we just did, we've been in a similar situation, 49ers cornerback Renardo Green said. I guess it's going to be survival of the fittest. Last year at Raymond James Stadium, the 49ers were the last team standing or joyously sprinting off the field, having won on a walk-off field goal by Jake Moody. At about 7:30 p.m. ET in this encore, the sun will have just set here, and Sunday's outcome surely could be in doubt."
"Baker Mayfield is 0-for-4 in his career against the 49ers, including losses each of the past two seasons. But he is garnering early-season MVP consideration. Baker Mayfield is a great player. He's really emerged as one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL, rookie defensive lineman Mykel Williams said. It's always exciting when you get a chance to go against somebody like that. While Williams has yet to face him, linebacker Fred Warner is a four-time winner vs. Mayfield (2019 Browns, 2022 Panthers, 2023-24 Bucs)."
Both the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and San Francisco 49ers have recorded late-game wins, with Tampa Bay’s four victories coming from last-minute comebacks and San Francisco matching a 4-1 record in one-score games. The 49ers previously won at Raymond James Stadium on a walk-off field goal and face a similar evening matchup with the sun setting around kickoff. Baker Mayfield is 0-for-4 versus the 49ers but is playing at an MVP level early this season, with 10 touchdowns and one interception. The 49ers hold a 12-game interception drought and plan to force a pick this week, while veterans like Fred Warner and Trent Williams emphasize late-game pressure and fan excitement.
