The 49ers, who lost Deebo samuel to injury, outgained the Buccaneers 209-69 on the ground, with running back Christian McCaffrey finishing with 14 carries for 119 yards and one touchdown.
Despite losing two quarterbacks in Jimmy G and Trey lance, the 49ers remain dangerous.
Brady struggled in one of the worst losses of his career, completing 34 of 55 passes for just 253 yards, a touchdowns, and a pair of interceptions. Despite a terrible record, the Bucs remain in first place in the NFC South.
