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.

Chiefs Fan-Favourite WR Faces Family Tragedy After Week 5 Game as Military-Trained Skydiving Instructor Dies in Nashville
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice is mourning a devastating personal loss following the team’s Week 5 matchup, as his cousin Justin Fuller, a respected military-trained skydiving instructor, died in a tragic tandem jump accident near Nashville. Fuller, 35, was fatally injured after becoming separated from his parachute harness mid-air during a jump organized by Go Skydive Nashville. His student survived after landing in a tree with the parachute deployed and was later rescued by firefighters. Police confirmed Fuller’s body was recovered in a wooded area off Ashland City Highway. The Nashville Fire Department called it “one of the most complex high-angle rescues in recent years,” commending its personnel for the effort. Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee.  (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey ) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Rice, who grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose, has long credited that example with shaping his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Rashee that strength isn’t being unbreakable — it’s standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Rashee lives and plays today.” As a featured target in the Chiefs’ offense, Rice has earned complete trust for his short-to-intermediate separation, yards-after-catch power (YAC), and chemistry with quarterback Patrick Mahomes. Coaches describe him as “calm, focused, and mature beyond his years,” a disciplined route-runner who finds tight windows in the red zone. Through Week 5 of the 2025 season, Rice has no registered game statistics as he serves a league-issued six-game suspension to start the regular season; major stat services list no 2025 game logs to date.  The Kansas City Chiefs have provided time and private support for Rice and his family, ensuring he can grieve without team-related obligations. Teammates have stood beside him, honoring both his resilience and his family’s tradition of service. The FAA is investigating the incident, while messages commemorating “Spidey” continue to spread nationwide.“He taught others to fly — now he flies higher than all of us,” one tribute read. Rice kept his public remarks brief before leaving in the embrace of teammates:“Spidey always told me not to fear the height — only the moment you forget to look down and pull someone else up with you. This week, I’m playing for him.”
