Opponent Profile: 49ers Welcome Desperate Ravens To Levi's Stadium In Week 6 For Super Bowl Rematch

No, there will not be another Harbaugh Bowl when the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens meet in Week 6 at Levi's Stadium, but that doesn't mean this Super Bowl XLVII rematch won't be full of storylines.

Team Grades: 49ers Show Big Improvement In Week 5 Against Giants, Despite Late Loss

The San Francisco 49ers did not get blown out in New York by the Giants on Sunday Night Football in Week 5. In fact, the 49ers played so well, they had the lead very late in the 4th quarter. However, a two-time Super Bowl champion QB delivered in the clutch for the Giants, throwing the winning touchdown pass with just 21 seconds left. Overall, though, this was a moral victory for the 49ers even as they dropped to 1-4 on the season.

Team Grades: 49ers Get Throttled By Cardinals On Way To 'F' Performance

We knew it might get ugly for the San Francisco 49ers against the Arizona Cardinals on the road Sunday, but we didn't think it would be that bad. The Cards jumped out to a 14-0 lead before their offense ever took the field, thanks to 49ers turnovers, and it was all downhill from there. Arizona returned two interceptions for touchdowns and registered a safety for the first time in franchise history since 1949. Yes, it was a historic day for the 49ers and their opponent.

49ers Won't Find Trip To Arizona Easy This Weekend

After a humbling trip to Pittsburgh in Week 2, the San Francisco 49ers now face another tough road test in Week 3: the first-place Arizona Cardinals. Toss in the potential of a very hot Sunday afternoon in the Valley of the Sun, and the 49ers could be in trouble against Carson Palmer and Larry Fitzgerald. Arizona is 2-0 with dominant wins over the New Orleans Saints and the Chicago Bears. They are for real, and with the Seattle Seahawks off to an 0-2 start, the NFC West could already be in the Cardinals' hands unless the 49ers can pull an upset.

Team Grades: 49ers Get Walloped In Pittsburgh On Both Sides Of The Ball

So much for the nice Week 1 win for the San Francisco 49ers. It took just one road trip to knock the team back down to earth. The Pittsburgh Steelers beat the 49ers, 43-18, in a game that wasn't even that close. San Francisco didn't score a touchdown until the fourth quarter when the game was already out of hand, and defensively, the team gave up four TDs in the first half to fall behind, 29-3. Yes, it was that kind of day for the 49ers, and it raises a lot of questions for Week 3.

Injury Report: Reggie Bush Only Health Concern On 49ers Roster In Week 2

Running back Reggie Bush is listed as questionable for the San Francisco 49ers' Week 2 matchup on the road against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a calf injury suffered early in the Week 1 win over the Minnesota Vikings. That's literally the only injury the team is reporting this week to the NFL, and that's an amazing sign of good luck for the 49ers. To come out of Week 1 with a win and no major injury concerns is miraculous in this day and age of professional football.
