Round

NFL 2026 regular season, Week 2

The pre-game read

San Francisco beat the Rams in Week 1 in Australia and returns home to face a Miami team that was beaten 27-13 by the Raiders. The 49ers lost Ricky Pearsall to season-ending IR and WR Stribling to a deltoid ligament tear, but George Kittle is cleared to play. Miami's roster lacks talent after a rebuilding offseason, and their Week 1 performance confirmed they're a bottom-tier team in 2026. The 49ers are at home, and the talent gap is significant. The contrary case is San Francisco's travel fatigue from Australia, but they've had a full week to recover.
