The 49ers are coming off a 27-7 home loss to the Colts on Sunday that dropped them to 1-2. Colin Kaepernick passed for just 150 yards with an interception and a lost fumble.

Both meetings last season went to overtime, with the Rams winning one and the other ending in a tie.

Bucs Benching Freeman For Glennon

(Tampa, FL) -- The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are making a change at quarterback. The Bucs are benching quarterback Josh Freeman and will start rookie Mike Glennon this Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.  Head coach Greg Schiano says he feels the change is necessary.

The move to start Glennon on Sunday before the team's bye week will allow coaches to review his performance and make corrections before the Bucs' next game October 13th against Philadelphia. Freeman has completed just 45.7-percent of his passes with two touchdowns and three interceptions this season. Tampa Bay is 0-3. Arizona is 1-2.
