The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head to Raymond James Stadium to host the San Francisco 49ers in a crucial NFC matchup. Baker Mayfield has been a dynamic quarterback for the Buccaneers. Despite the San Francisco 49ers’ formidable defense, we see Mayfield playing a pivotal role in Sunday’s high-stakes game at 4:25 PM EST on CBS.
Here’s what we can expect from Baker Mayfield against the San Francisco 49ers:
– Rushing Yards: 18-30 yards, considering Mayfield’s average rushing output and the 49ers’ defense. We expect Mayfield to have a solid game against San Francisco.
– Rushing Touchdowns: 0-1 touchdowns, given the 49ers’ rush defense has been solid.
– Passing Yards: 240-280 yards, as Mayfield has been averaging 226 passing yards per game this season – this might seem moderate, but we expect Mayfield to connect effectively with his receivers.
– Passing Touchdowns: 1-2 touchdowns, considering the 49ers’ pass defense ranked 8th in the league.
– Pass Completions: 21-26 completions, as Mayfield has a 63.4% completion rate and the 49ers allow moderate completion rates.
– Interceptions: 0-1 interception, given San Francisco’s 5 interceptions this season and Mayfield’s 1 INT through five games.
– Total Touchdowns: 1-2 touchdowns, considering the Buccaneers’ scoring ability.
Key Factors Influencing Mayfield’s Performance
– The 49ers’ pass rush might limit Mayfield’s time in the pocket and affect his passing accuracy.
– Mayfield’s ability to read San Francisco’s defense and make quick decisions could significantly impact his overall performance.
– The Buccaneers’ game plan might feature a balanced attack to neutralize the 49ers’ defensive strengths, particularly their front seven, with rookie receiver Emeka Egbuka likely playing a key role in the absence of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin (out with a fibula injury).
Final Stat Line
Passing Yards: 275
Passing Touchdowns: 2
Interceptions: 1
Pass Completions: 23
Rushing Yards: 18
