What time is the NFL game today? Schedule, TV Channel, kick-off time, and How to watch San Francisco 49ers vs. Cincinnati Bengals

After back-to-back away days, the San Francisco 49ers will play Week 8 NFL football at Levi’s Stadium against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET. Despite being the odds-on favorite to win their last game against the Minnesota Vikings, they suffered their second defeat of the season.

Make no mistake. The Bay Area franchise fought tooth and nail in the 22-17 scoreline. Massive contributions from the likes of Christian McCaffrey—rushing for 45 yards and securing one touchdown—quarterback Brock Purdy had a mixed-bag game with 272 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions.

On the other hand, the Bengals are coming off their bye for the season and would like to continue their hot streak. Before that, the Seattle Seahawks came to the ‘Beer Capital of the World’ and pushed their franchise to the brink. Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow capped off another down game, considering his high standards. He only had 185 yards from 24 completions and threw two touchdowns and one interception.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Cincinnati Bengals: Predicted Lineup

The 49ers are missing some key players for Sunday’s high-voltage tie. Wide receiver Deebo Samuel is out with a shoulder injury, along with star offensive lineman Trent Williams, who has a bad ankle. The biggest concern was that Brock Purdy was on concussion protocol. But he has been declared fit to play. Pass rusher Nick Bosa and OT Fred Warner are in the starting lineup.

For the Bengals, linebacker Akeem Davis-Gaither is out of the game, along with running back Chase Brown. Star receiver Ja’Marr Chase is nailed on, besides Trey Hendrickson. The availability of Orlando Brown Jr. is a big plus, and it will be interesting to watch him go up against Bosa.

Why can the San Francisco 49ers win?

The San Francisco 49ers season started the best way possible, winning five straight games. But the two losses have thrown the winning feeling out of the window. So they will be all in when it comes to keeping pace with the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles. They have recent history in their favor in a fixture that will be played after a couple of years. The 49ers last lost against their Sunday’s opponent in December 2007.

Availability of Purdy is a big bonus. But there’s still no confirmation of whether he will start the game. Backup Sam Darnold is prepped to make his 49ers debut. That could change when the final list is put up.

Why can the Cincinnati Bengals win the game?

The Cincinnati Bengals are at 3 wins and 3 losses after 6 games. For the defending AFC North champions to be sitting in 4th was not on the cards when the season began. So for head coach Zac Taylor, it’s imperative to keep winning games if they want to turn their campaign around.

Wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase will be a key factor if the Bengals up their point scoring. The two-time Pro Bowler has 556 yards and three touchdowns from 50 receptions. That’s the best by any receiver with the same number of catches.

Key factor: The San Francisco 49ers have averaged 3.4 touchdowns per game, which is the third-best in the league. On the other hand, the Cincinnati Bengals have only managed an average of 1.7.
