Buckle up, Bucs fans! Seems like it might get a slippery Week 10 ride for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. They will be hosting the 49ers for the Week 10 SNF clash at the Raymond James Stadium.

Tampa Bay is coming into this week with a 4-5 record. Remember how well they started this season with two consecutive wins in two weeks? However, things have been troubling for Todd Bowels and his men, losing against the Chiefs, the Falcons, and the Ravens in the past three weeks. They are at the second spot on the NFC South’s table. On the other hand, the 49ers have played one game less than their Sunday rivals have a  4-4 record, and are standing at the third spot in the NFC West.

This NFC clash will start at 1:00 PM EST on Sunday and as per nflweatherreport.com, the sky is expected to be clear during the kickoff. There would be a 28% cloud coverage and wind blowing at 9mph from the South East. The temperature is expected to be between 69 °F to 86 °F. But Mother Nature could have something entirely different planned. Reports suggest there could be slight rainfall as the game progresses.

We are now at the halfway point of the season, and both teams need to give their best as they progress further. After last week’s win against the Cowboys, the 49ers have an upper hand in this game. However, Bowels would surely urge his players not to dwell on their past results, focus on the task at hand, and find a way to bounce back against the 49ers on Sunday.

Now, it needs to be seen who emerges victorious. Will the Bucs finally bounce back and be successful in finding a way to push past Brock Purdy and Co.? Or will the 49ers replicate their last week’s success with another cruising victory? Only time will tell. However, this matchup brings some good news in the 49ers camp.

49ers HC Shanahan shares positive updates on 3x Pro Bowler ahead of SNF clash against Buccaneers

Guess who is returning on Sunday? Christian McCaffrey. According to HC Kyle Shanahan, the star running back is finally set to make his season debut in Week 10 against the Bucs. The 28-year-old was set to make the debut against the Cowboys, but Shanahan and the team wanted not to hurry, so they waited for another couple of days.

During the post-training press conference on Friday, Shanahan shared this exciting news. The HC mentioned that the player has been “awesome these last two days.” Although he added that setbacks are unpredictable and can tamper with the player’s progress anytime again, due to the player’s performance in the past couple of days, Shanahan “expects to see him out there.”

In 2023, including both the regular season and the playoffs, McCaffrey made 331 rushing attempts and 18 TDs for 1,727 yards. In case he returns to his full potential, he could surely be a key entity of the team, helping them from the back.
