Returning back to the Bay Area for the first of two consecutive home contests, the 49ers host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers suited in the franchise?s late 1980?s throwback uniforms on Red Fog Day.
On the eve of Halloween, when ghosts and goblins prepare for the witching hour, the 49ers face a frightening entity of their own with the 5-1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers in town for a bout at Monster Park.
Though San Francisco isn?t rolling out the red carpet for the Buccaneers arrival, the home crowd will greet the ?other? Bay Area team with a sea of red garb in celebration of the 49ers first-ever Red Fog Day.
Tampa Bay travels cross country after utilizing their bye week to rest and rehabilitate. While the Buccaneers lead a solid NFC South Division, they do have some scary ghosts from the past haunting their post-bye weekend stretch. The team has played a total of six times on the road after an off-weekend, including just one over the past nine seasons. Of those six road trips, Tampa Bay has never followed up their bye with a win.
San Francisco looks to extend the Buccaneers streak to seven while snapping a five game losing streak of their own. The 49ers return home for two consecutive games after a trip to the nation?s capital ended in a lopsided 52-17 loss at the hands of a tough Washington lot.
