San Francisco 35-7 over Tampa Bay
Yuck!
No, it's not entirely the fault of the coaches and players that their line was already so banged up; most teams struggle against the 49ers' front, let alone ones with battered trenches. This, frankly, was always going to be a tough draw for such an offense. But man, you'd hope a Tom Brady-led squad could at least be competitive, and that was never the case in this game. Affected by steady pressure and a steadier lack of separation from his top wideouts, Brady joined the slog by misfiring on several would-be touchdowns and lofting two ugly picks. Todd Bowles' defense, meanwhile, lacked discipline in some key spots and got torched out of the gate, making Brock Purdy -- a rookie making his first career start -- look like the Brady of old. Congrats on the NFC South, though!
