How to Watch the San Francisco 49ers Face Trevor Lawrence and the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4

September 25, 2025

Week 4 of the NFL season delivers a cross-conference clash with playoff implications as the undefeated San Francisco 49ers welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars to Levi's Stadium. This matchup pits Kyle Shanahan's high-powered offense—now navigating a gauntlet of injuries—against a Jaguars squad that's found its groove defensively and on the ground. The 49ers (3-0) have scraped out gritty wins, including a 16-15 thriller over the Cardinals in Week 3 where Mac Jones stepped up in place of the sidelined Brock Purdy, while the Jaguars (2-1) notched a crucial 17-10 divisional victory over the Texans behind three takeaways and a dominant run game averaging 141.7 yards per contest. With San Francisco leading the all-time series 5-2, this could be the game where Jacksonville's opportunistic defense (league-leading nine takeaways) forces the Niners' first stumble.

Why You Can't Miss This Game

San Francisco's unbeaten streak hangs by a thread amid injuries: Nick Bosa (ACL, out for season), George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings sidelined, plus Brock Purdy's status uncertain (turf toe/AC joint). Christian McCaffrey's versatility (25 receptions, 389 scrimmage yards) keeps the offense humming, but Jacksonville's D—tops in takeaways—could capitalize. Trevor Lawrence faces a familiar foe in his college rival Mac Jones (if Purdy sits), while the Jags' ground attack (5.1 ypc) tests the Niners' stout run D (3.7 ypc allowed). Odds favor the home team by 3 points (via BetMGM), but the Jags' road warrior vibe could flip it.

Cowboys Reunite with a Former Starter, Bolstering a Battle-Tested Defense for the Stretch Run
Dallas, TX – In a surprising yet strategic move, the Dallas Cowboys have officially signed linebacker Luke Gifford on the afternoon of October 8, 2025, just hours after the San Francisco 49ers decided to cut the veteran. The one-year, $3.5 million deal (with performance bonuses up to $1.5 million) marks an emotional homecoming for Gifford to the franchise that launched his career, while also plugging an urgent hole in Dallas’ linebacker depth after multiple injuries out of Week 5.   Gifford, 29, was a reliable glue piece for the Cowboys from 2019 to 2022—an undrafted gem who carved out his role on special teams and situational defense in the star and stripes. After leaving Dallas, he spent time with the Tennessee Titans (2023) and 49ers (2024–2025), earning a reputation as a smart, assignment-sound linebacker who can play WILL/SAM and contribute immediately on kick coverage and sub-packages.   With San Francisco this year, Gifford appeared in four games before Tuesday night’s roster shuffle left him as the odd man out. Dallas pounced. “Luke knows our standard and our language,” head coach Mike McCarthy said after practice. “He’s tough, dependable, and versatile. Given where our linebacker room is right now, he’s exactly the kind of veteran who can stabilize us fast.”   For the Cowboys—leading the NFC East at 4–1 but juggling availability at linebacker—this is timely triage and culture reinforcement. Defensive coaches value Gifford’s communication and angles in space; special teams coordinator notes he can step in on all four core units immediately. Gifford, moments after signing, posted on X: “Back where it started. Let’s work. #HowBoutThemCowboys #DC4L”   Cowboys Nation erupted online as #GiffordReturns trended across the Metroplex, with many fans framing it as a subtle flex against the 49ers—Dallas’ recent playoff nemesis. NFL Network panels speculated Gifford could suit up as early as this weekend if paperwork clears, logging early snaps on special teams and dime looks while the staff ramps him into the defensive packages.   Beyond the depth chart math, the message is clear: Dallas is moving decisively to protect its defensive identity and keep the NFC East lead. If Gifford brings the same reliability and edge-setting discipline he showed in his first stint, the Cowboys may have found the steadying piece they needed for a stretch run.   Can Luke Gifford’s homecoming spark a sturdier second level and help Dallas tighten the screws in crunch time? We’ll know soon enough. #CowboysNation #DallasCowboys #HowBoutThemCowboys
