"The San Francisco 49ers (4-1) face another daunting road game as they take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-1) on Sunday in a battle with a fellow NFC contender thriving amid injury adversity. Despite a host of injuries on both sides of the ball, the 49ers stunned their NFC West rivals the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football behind a gutsy effort from backup quarterback Mac Jones. After helping the 49ers to a 26-23 overtime win, Jones will hope to improve to 4-0 as a starter for San Francisco, with starting quarterback Brock Purdy still on the sideline because of turf toe."
"Mayfield was sensational last week as the Buccaneers edged the Seattle Seahawks in a thriller in the Pacific Northwest, throwing for 379 yards and two touchdowns to lead Tampa Bay to a 38-35 triumph at Lumen Field. The Tampa Bay offense will be minus the services of wide receivers Chris Godwin (fibula) and Mike Evans (hamstring). Yet Mayfield will still be confident he has the tools to succeed against the 49er defense, with wideout Emeka Egbuka emerging as the Offensive Rookie of the Year frontrunner following a sensational start to his career. The first-round pick went for 163 yards and a touchdown on seven receptions against Seattle. Following that performance, Egbuka now has 25 catches, 445 receiving yards and five touchdown receptions through five games, becoming the first player in NFL history with at least 25 receptions, 400 receiving yards and five touchdown receptions in his first five career games."
