Who are the announcers and referees for Buccaneers vs. 49ers game in Week 10?
By Josh Hill
It's been an absolutely brutal stretch for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, one that isn't likely going to get much easier on Sunday afternoon. After losing three straight games, the Bucs need to figure out a way to get a win and head into the team's bye week on a high note.
Standing in their way is the San Francisco 49ers, a team similarly looking to get the vibes of its season right, but will do so with the addition of a key player.
For the first time this year, Christian McCaffrey is expected to play. It's truly an unlucky break for the Bucs, as it just so happened that CMC's return lined up with a game Tampa Bay needs to win. Thus seems to be the way the cookie has crumbled for the team this year .
The good news is that even without Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, the Bucs offense has found a way to keep grooving. They'll need more of that on Sunday as Baker Mayfield must limit his mistakes while Liam Coen must draw up another fantastic gameplan.
It won't be easy, but the Bucs absolutely can pull off an upset on Sunday afternoon.
Who are the announcers for Buccaneers vs. 49ers today?
For the second time this season, Tom Brady will be in the booth for a Buccaneers game. He made his first trip back to Tampa Bay in Week 4 when the Bucs crushed the Philadelphia Eagles in a one-sided game.
Here's to hoping those vibes remain intact on Sunday; Brady is back and the Bucs badly need to figure out how to head into their bye week with a win.
