8 takeaways from 49ers’ 27-14 win over Buccaneers

8 takeaways from the #49ers’ win over the Bucs.

The 49ers have a huge three-game stretch coming up with two games against the Seahawks and another against the Eagles. For those games to come with maximum consequence though they needed to take care of business at home against a struggling Tampa Bay Buccaneers squad.

They did just that with a 27-14 win where their stars shined once again, and got some help from an unexpected source on defense.

Here are our eight takeaways from the 49ers’ seventh win of the year:

49ers fear ACL injury for SS Talanoa Hufanga

Kyle Shanahan is “a little concerned” about an ACL injury for Talanoa Hufanga.

It sounds like 49ers strong safety Talanoa Hufanga suffered a bad knee injury during San Francisco’s win over the Buccaneers.

Hufanga exited in the third quarter after slipping while trying to make a tackle. He went to the medical tent immediately before being ruled out with a knee injury.

Head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team will find out the extent of the injury Monday.

“A little concerned,” Shanahan said in his postgame press conference. “We don’t know for sure. Most likely it’s ACL, but we can’t confirm it so we’ll find out later.”

It’s not a great sign that Hufanga was ruled out so quickly after going down in the third quarter. However, until imaging is done the team won’t be able to confirm the extent of the injury.

Rookie safety Ji’Ayir Brown filled in for Hufanga and broke up three passes including an interception in the red zone.

The only other injury update Shanahan had immediately following Sunday’s game was that cornerback Shemar Jean-Charles suffered a shoulder injury. There was no additional info on the extent of that injury.

Brock Purdy was basically perfect in 49ers win over Bucs

It’s hard to be better than Brock Purdy was for the #49ers on Sunday:

Brock Purdy’s first career start was agains the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14 of the 2022 season. It went well for the then-rookie. His second game against the Bucs in Week 11 of this season went even better.

Purdy was stellar, completing 21-of-25 throws for 333 yards and three touchdowns. The 333 yards were his second-most ever, and his most in a win.

His stats worked out to a perfect 158.3 passer rating, which is the highest possible mark in that metric. Only 21 other players in NFL history have done that on 25-plus pass attempts.

Bills QB Josh Allen did it in Week 4 this year. Before that it was Tom Brady in the 2020 season. No 49ers QB has ever hit the 158.3 mark on that many attempts.

Joe Montana and Steve Young both accomplished the feat in the 1989 campaign, but they did so on far fewer attempts. Young went 11-of-12 for 188 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-20 Week 7 win against New England. Three weeks later in Week 10 it was Montana who hit a 158.3 passer rating by going 16-of-19 for 270 yards and three touchdowns against the Falcons in a 45-3 win.

Purdy will likely never be one of the two best QBs in 49ers history, but his outing Sunday against Tampa Bay is in the discussion as one of the finest single-game performances by any QB in team history.

Notes and observations from 49ers’ Week 11 win over Buccaneers

Notes and observations from a weird #49ers win over the Buccaneers at Levi’s Stadium.

It wasn’t pretty, but the 49ers handled business at home against the Buccaneers in a 27-14 win.

They went up 27-7 in the second half, but allowed the Bucs to claw back to stay in the game to make things more difficult than they needed to be.

Still, the 49ers did what they needed to do in getting the victory to move to 7-3 on the year and stay atop the NFC West.

Here are our observations from each quarter:

Watch: 49ers’ Christian McCaffrey gets back on the board with TD vs. Bucs

After one game without a touchdown, Christian McCaffrey is back on the board.

The San Francisco 49ers’ blowout win over the Jacksonville Jaguars marked the first game of the season Christian McCaffrey did not record a score, ending a historic streak of touchdowns.

During Week 11’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the 49ers runner got back on the board with a touchdown run in the first quarter. After the 49ers moved the ball down the field, McCaffrey caught a short pass from Brock Purdy to give the 49ers an early lead against the Bucs.

Behind Enemy Lines: Buccaneers vs. Brock Purdy Part 2

Better know the #49ers’ Week 11 opponent:

It’s been less than a year since the 49ers and Buccaneers last met up at Levi’s Stadium. San Francisco rolled in Week 14 last season when Tampa Bay visited the Bay Area for Brock Purdy’s first-career start.

While less than a year has passed since that 35-7 49ers victory, a lot has changed since that game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

To get an idea of what’s happening with the 49ers’ Week 11 opponent. we reached out to Bucs Wire managing editor River Wells to chat about the matchup:

The 49ers put it on the Buccaneers on Sunday at Levi’s Stadium. They scored on their opening possession and never looked back in a 35-7 romp over Tom Brady and Tampa Bay.

Here are our notes from a big San Francisco victory:

49ers capitalize on TB turnover with Christian McCaffrey TD run

Christian McCaffrey ✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻

The 49ers got the ball at the Bucs 38 after Tashaun Gipson intercepted Tom Brady. They needed only two plays to find pay dirt. After an incompletion, running back Christian McCaffrey took a handoff and went 38 yards untouched for a touchdown. That was his first rushing TD of the game and second TD overall. It’s 35-0 49ers.

Brock Purdy show continues with TD pass to Brandon Aiyuk

What in the world is happening?!

Brock Purdy can’t be stopped. After a bad interception was negated by defensive holding with less than 30 seconds left in the first half, Purdy let one fly to WR Brandon Aiyuk who got wide open down the field. Even though the throw was a touch short, Aiyuk had time to wait for it before turning and walking into the end zone for a 32-yard TD. Purdy in the first half went 14-18 for 185 yards and two touchdowns through the air. He also ran in a TD and San Francisco led 28-0 at the break.

Purdy good throw: Christian McCaffrey hauls in deep throw for TD

Brock Purdy, y’all.

Brock Purdy’s incredible game continued midway through the second quarter Sunday. Facing a third-and-5, the Buccaneers brought the house on a blitz. Purdy recognized it and lofted a toss down the left sideline to Christian McCaffrey who made a nice juggling catch for a TD to put the 49ers ahead 21-0. Purdy is now 9-for-11 for 109 yards with one passing TD and one rushing TD.
