Coming off an exhilarating win over the Seattle Seahawks in Week Five, 38-35, on a walk-off field goal, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will host the San Francisco 49ers in Week Six at Raymond James Stadium. The Bucs own the driver's seat in the NFC South with a 4-1 record and the 49ers are the top slotted team in the NFC West with a 4-1 record over the 3-2 Seahawks. San Francisco outlasted the Rams in a 26-23 overtime thriller in Week Five and both division leaders will look for another win tally on Sunday in Week Six.
