News summary

The San Francisco 49ers narrowly defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20, thanks to Jake Moody's last-second 44-yard field goal, redeeming himself after missing three earlier attempts. This game marked the season debut of running back Christian McCaffrey, who contributed significantly with 39 rushing yards and six receptions for 68 yards. Despite the win, Moody's earlier misses included attempts from 49 and 50 yards, leading to tension on the sidelines with Deebo Samuel and long snapper Taybor Pepper. Brock Purdy threw for 353 yards and connected for touchdowns with Ricky Pearsall and George Kittle, while Baker Mayfield managed a tying field goal drive for the Bucs, who have now lost four straight games. The 49ers improved their record to 5-4, while the Buccaneers fell to 4-6 as they head into their bye week. The game was marked by a troubled special teams display from the 49ers, raising questions about Moody's future as their kicker.
