The schedule is starting to leak!
NBC Sports Matt Maiocco reported that the 49ers will travel to Florida to open the 2019 regular season against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Maiocco also reported that the 49ers will host the Pittsburgh Steelers for the teams home opener. That won’t happen until September 22nd, so the Niners will have start the season with two road games. We will know that team later today. The NFL will release the remainder of the 49ers schedule today at 5 p.m.
There is some intrigue with playing Tampa Bay. The 49ers traveled to play the Bucs in November of last year. I can already see your blood boiling of having to travel across the country for the second consecutive year. Tampa Bay just hired Bruce Arians, so it’ll be tough to know exactly what that offense looks like. Robert Saleh and company will likely have to do some digging based on his past, and really put stock into what Tampa Bay shows in the preseason.
In regards to Pittsburgh, they will be completely revamped as the Steelers no longer have their two best players on offense. We’ll update this article as more of the schedule leaks.
