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.

Los Angeles Rams Fire OC Immediately After Crushing Loss to 49ers — Who Helped The Bay Capture NFC Title and Reach the Super Bowl
Los Angeles, CA – October 3, 2025 The Los Angeles Rams wasted no time in making changes following their painful loss in Week 5 to the San Francisco 49ers. Immediately after the final whistle, the team officially announced the firing of offensive coordinator Mike LaFleur. The decision came just minutes after the Rams' offense collapsed disastrously, managing only 23 points in regulation time, including a decisive fumble in overtime. Although the defense fought hard to hold the line while allowing 26 points, the offense's late-game breakdown led to the Rams' 23–26 defeat—their second straight loss after a 20–13 setback against the Buffalo Bills in Week 4. In his first season with Los Angeles, LaFleur faced heavy criticism for failing to maximize Matthew Stafford against the 49ers, as well as a series of offensive errors from the start of the season. Fans erupted on social media, with many calling for his dismissal even before the game ended. Before joining the Los Angeles Rams in 2023 as offensive coordinator, Mike LaFleur was a key figure in the San Francisco 49ers' coaching staff from 2017 to 2020, under head coach Kyle Shanahan—his longtime friend and colleague. Starting in the roles of wide receivers coach and passing game specialist during his first two seasons (2017-2018), LaFleur quickly demonstrated his ability to build a flexible offensive system, significantly improving the performance of wide receivers like Marquise Goodwin and later Deebo Samuel. By 2019, he was promoted to passing game coordinator, marking the peak of his career with the 49ers: the team posted an impressive 13-3 record, dominated the NFC West, advanced deep into the playoffs with a win over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC Championship Game (27-10), and fell just short in Super Bowl LIV against the Kansas City Chiefs (20-31). That season, the 49ers' offense ranked highly in passing yardage (averaging over 220 yards per game), with Jimmy Garoppolo throwing 27 touchdowns to just 13 interceptions, largely thanks to LaFleur's creativity in designing play-action and complex route concepts. Although the 2020 season was hampered by COVID-19 and injuries (ending 6-10), LaFleur's legacy with the 49ers remains a testament to his coaching talent, earning him high regard in the NFL before moving on to the Jets (2021-2022) and Rams. His firing today only highlights the stark contrast between his brilliant achievements in his old stomping grounds and the recent disappointments in Los Angeles. Head coach Sean McVay explained the move, stating that the team needs a fresh voice on offense. "We have talent on the offensive side, but execution hasn't been good enough. At this level, results matter. We have to move forward fast." The Rams entered the season with optimism about their offense, especially after bringing in LaFleur during the offseason. But back-to-back losses have shattered the remaining faith in his leadership. Assistant offensive coach Zac Robinson is expected to take on the role of interim offensive coordinator as the Rams prepare for a tough Week 6 matchup against the Detroit Lions. For Rams fans, this move is a clear sign that the front office is listening to their frustrations. For the players, it's a reminder that patience wears thin quickly when expectations aren't met.
