NFL power rankings: How far do Bucs fall after blowout loss to 49ers?
Despite the momentum of their comeback win the week before, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers came crashing back down to earth Sunday, falling 35-7 on the road against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Bucs’ offensive struggles continued, and they were dominated in every phase of the game as the 49ers sent them back below .500 with the crushing defeat.
Even with the loss, and a 6-7 record, the Bucs remain in first place in the lackluster NFC South, with just four games remaining in the regular season.
