The way the 49ers and Jaguars have played the past few weeks are examples of why we love the unpredictability of the NFL.
Many were quick to crown the 49ers as the best team in the NFL. Now they’re on a two-game losing streak and many are questioning whether Brock Purdy is the right quarterback. But Purdy might not play Sunday vs. the Bengals because he was placed in the concussion protocol. If that’s the case, the 49ers are going to need their defense to step up after a poor performance in Minnesota.
The Jaguars got their funk out of the way early in the season after ugly losses to the Chiefs and Texans. I’m sure not many football pundits considered them Super Bowl contenders during the two-game losing streak. But now the Jaguars are putting their impressive four-game winning streak on the line in Pittsburgh for one of the most intriguing games of Week 8.
