Even after decimating the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10, the San Francisco 49ers will likely be trying very hard not to buy into their own hype, some of which has come from Sunday's opponents.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have already faced the Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles, the two teams above the 49ers in the race for the one seed in the NFC, this season, losing both games.
But their veteran linebacker Lavonte David made a bold statement about the Niners ahead of their Week 11 matchup at Levi's Stadium.
"[The 49ers] are probably going to be the most complete team we play all season,” David told CBS Sports' 'The Jim Rome Show'.
"They do what they do and they do it really well. They got a lot of movement on offense.
"They got two big, key guys back in Trent [Williams] and Deebo Samuel. Obviously, you got Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Brandon Aiyuk. They still got [Kyle] Juszczyk. They have a complete team, man. We’re definitely going to have our hands full this week."
David is far from the first to state that the 49ers have the most complete roster in the NFL. However, after seeing his team start 5-0 only to then drop three straight, head coach Kyle Shanahan will be especially keen to keep his team on an even keel.
San Francisco is expected to give the Buccaneers more than they can handle. The 49ers are 11.5-point favorites to improve to 7-3 with victory over Tampa Bay.
