In this story:

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-5) welcome the San Francisco 49ers (4-4) to Raymond James Stadium in a pivotal NFC matchup for both teams as they look to gain some ground in their respective divisions as they make a push for playoff contention.

The 49ers are finally starting to get healthy with Christian McCaffrey making his 2024 debut and the Bucs' defense will have to find a way to make sure all their bases are covered against a lethal offensive attack headed by head coach Kyle Shanahan.

The Bucs' offense, led by quarterback Baker Mayfield, will look to keep things rolling without his two star playmakers but with Liam Coen's creativity, a healthy Jalen McMillan, and safety blanket Cade Otton the offense should be able to move the ball against an above average defense.
