The 49ers head into this week riding momentum, matching the Buccaneers with identical 4–1 records.
San Francisco has strung together four wins out of five, including a strong road performance in Week 5. Led by the versatile
Christian McCaffrey and with solid contributions from their passing game, the 49ers boast one of the more balanced offenses in the NFL this season. Their defense, even in the absence of Nick Bosa, has held firm under pressure, with linebackers Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw providing consistency up the middle.
On the other side, Tampa Bay is also 4–1 after a thrilling Week 5 victory over Seattle, paced by Baker Mayfield
’s efficient play and a defense that has forced timely turnovers. The Buccaneers remain dangerous at home in Raymond James Stadium, especially when the game gets tight down the stretch.
This matchup pits two teams with matching records and high expectations — it’s a key test of depth, coaching, and execution.
Here is everything you need to know about the 49ers this week, including TV and streaming options for the Week 6 NFL game.
