Gameday: San Francisco 49ers at Jacksonville Jaguars

Oct 27, 2013 at 12:00 AM--




This morning, the San Francisco 49ers will face off against the Jacksonville Jaguars at London's Wembley Stadium. The two teams last met on November 29, 2009 when the 49ers beat the Jaguars 20-3 in San Francisco.

Offensively, the 49ers are ranked 17th in the league while the Jaguars are ranked 32nd. Defensively, the 49ers are ranked 8th in the league while the Jaguars are ranked 28th.


The 49ers, who have scored 31 or more points in their last four games, are looking for their fifth consecutive victory while the Jaguars are simply looking for their first win of the season. The 49ers are ranked third in the league with over 143 rushing yards per game and look to continue their strong running attack against one of the worst defenses in the league. The Jaguars are allowing over 153 rushing yards per game. In four of their last five games, the Jaguars have allowed over 400 total yards by the opposing offense.

So far this season, the Jaguars are struggling on both sides of the ball. On average, the offense is scoring a league low 10.9 points per game. Their defense has allowed a league high average of 31.7 points per game. While this is the 49ers' third regular season trip out of the country, this is the Jaguars' first. The Jaguars have committed to four games in London over the next four seasons. Chad Henne, who replaced Blaine Gabbert due to injury, will make his third straight start. He has passed for over 300 yards in each of his last two games.

This will be an emotional game for Jaguars head coach, Gus Bradley. He joined the team in London on Wednesday following the death of his father on Sunday.

Last week, the 49ers (5-2) defeated the Tennessee Titans 31-17. The Jaguars (0-7) were defeated by the San Diego Chargers 24-6.

"49ers look like the NFL's most complete team": Where San Francisco stands in Week 4 power rankings

By David Bonilla

The undefeated Miami Dolphins' 70-20 win over the winless Denver Broncos has shot them to the top of multiple power rankings. However, for most, the San Francisco 49ers sit in the top spot. Also undefeated and sitting atop the NFC West standings, the 49ers are coming off a 30-12 win over the New York Giants. The team is so well-rounded, and Brock Purdy continues to rack up the wins as the starting quarterback. San Francisco has started the regular season 3-0 for the ninth time in franchise history and has now won 13 consecutive regular-season games dating back to Week 8 of last season. It's the longest active streak in the NFL and the second-longest winning streak in franchise

The San Francisco 49ers announced their weekly practice squad elevations, sharing that wide receiver Willie Snead and cornerback Kendall Sheffield will be called up to the active roster for their Week 4 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. With the announcement that Snead would be called up, one may assume that 49ers wideout Deebo Samuel's status would be trending down, as the 49ers expect to add another wideout to the active roster for Week 4. However, it's actually the opposite. Looking at the injury report, the 49ers aren't at risk of just missing Samuel, but

Why Brandon Aiyuk is becoming even more valuable to the 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers handily defeated the New York Giants in Week 3, winning 30-12 to improve to 3-0 on their season, scoring over 30 points for the third consecutive week of the season. Despite the comfortable win, the 49ers were nowhere near the "A-Game" offensively, struggling on some early drives and kicking field goals when touchdown opportunities were present, ultimately showcasing how dangerous this offense could be. While there were missed opportunities present last Thursday, another element that the 49ers were missing was emerging wideout Brandon Aiyuk, who was inactive due to a shoulder

49ers run defense faces first real challenge vs. Cardinals

By Rohan Chakravarthi

The San Francisco 49ers have dominated through three games this season, outscoring opponents 92-42 en route to a 3-0 record, which only has been matched by two other teams in the NFL thus far. Through three games, the 49ers have started strong, forcing opponents to implement more of a pass-heavy approach, while their opponents haven't been strong rushing teams as well. In Week 1, the Pittsburgh Steelers threw the ball 46 times, rushing just 10 times in a 30-7 loss to San Francisco. The Los Angeles Rams had 55 passing attempts and 22 rushes in Week 2, while the New York Giants had 33 passing attempts to 11 rushes in Week
