The San Francisco 49ers had a pretty disappointing few weeks before their bye in Week 9. After starting the season 5-0, they lost their next three games to teams that weren’t quite as good as they were – or as good as they should have been. Injuries to key players like Deebo Samuel complicated the Niners’ plan, and they crashed into their bye week desperately needing some recovery time.
The Jacksonville Jaguars have also had their bye, but are essentially the photo negative of the 49ers at the moment. They started 1-2, but then rattled off five straight wins and improved to 6-2.
The Niners needed the bye to rest and restart, and they hope to come out of it with momentum. The Jags also needed rest (like any team), but their main priority is to continue the confident play and extremely good atmosphere that have buoyed them this season.
