The San Francisco 49ers' disappointing 2024 NFL season continued as they struggled to a 4-5 record after a narrow victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Tensions boiled over on the sidelines when wide receiver Deebo Samuel confronted long snapper Taybor Pepper and kicker Jake Moody following Moody's third missed field goal attempt. A video captured Samuel grabbing Pepper's neck and swiping at Moody's helmet, leading to a heated exchange before cooler heads prevailed. Despite the drama, the 49ers secured a 23-20 win thanks to Moody's late-game field goal. Samuel's performance was lackluster, with only five receptions for 62 yards, reflecting his struggles this season. Meanwhile, quarterback Brock Purdy excelled with 353 passing yards and two touchdowns, while the Bucs fell to 4-6, marking their fourth consecutive loss.
