"PASS OFFENSE: C- Mac Jones, already battered through three starts, was sacked six times and intercepted twice but threw for 347 yards with a sore oblique and knee. Coach Kyle Shanahan didn't blame Jones for getting intercepted on the opening possession's third down, seeing how Kendrick Bourne apparently turned the wrong way on his route. Bourne, to his growing credit, did rack up 142 yards for a second straight game."
"PASS DEFENSE: F No interceptions for an NFL-record 13th straight game. One sack, the first from rookie Mykel Williams. No other quarterback hits. Two pass breakups. Two touchdowns allowed on blown coverages, including a 45-yarder past safety Marques Sigle for a 27-19 deficit that sealed the 49ers' fate. This is a toothless unit on every level, and MVP candidate Baker Mayfield preyed on it (256 yards, 139.0 passer rating)."
The 49ers fell 30-19 to the Buccaneers as Mac Jones was sacked six times, intercepted twice and threw for 347 yards while playing with a sore oblique and knee. Kendrick Bourne caught 142 yards for a second straight game, while Jauan Jennings struggled with penalties and a sideline confrontation and finished with one seven-yard reception on three targets. Christian McCaffrey scored the team's first rushing touchdown of the season but totaled just 54 rushing yards on 17 carries and added 57 receiving yards. The pass defense recorded no interceptions for an NFL-record 13th straight game, allowed two touchdown passes on blown coverages, and surrendered 256 yards to Baker Mayfield. Linebacker Fred Warner left with an ankle injury that could have season-altering implications.
