The 49ers saw the return of Christian McCaffrey and gained 413 yards, but Jake Moody’s three missed field goals kept the game close.

Finally, Moody kicked a 44-yarder on the final play to seal a 23-20 victory over the hapless Bucs. It is the second straight game that Tampa Bay has lost in the last game.

San Francisco moved to 5-4 with a second straight win, while Tampa Bay fell to 4-6 with a fourth straight loss.

Moody also made a 28-yard field goal, but he missed field goals of 49, 50 and 44 in his return from a high ankle sprain. The final kick, which ended a six-play, 39-yard drive, was likely a make-or-break kick for Moody.

The 49ers should have ended the game well before the final play, but the plucky Bucs kept the hope alive until the end.

Quarterback Baker Mayfield drove the Bucs 58 yards in 11 plays and ate 2:28 of the final 3:09. Mayfield got away from Nick Bosa just enough to throw a pass for the taking on fourth-and-7, and Rachaad White caught the ball for an eight-yard gain. The 49ers then had four defensive penalties for 39 yards.

Three came back-to-back-to-back, with Fred Warner calling for a facemask on White, Maliek Callins for assaulting the passer and Evan Anderson for illegal use of hands.

The Bucs were stuck at the 8 and Chase McLaughlin kicked a 26-yarder to tie the score with 41 seconds left. It was too much time for the 49ers.

McCaffrey rushed for 39 yards on 13 carries and caught six passes for 68 yards, and Brock Purdy completed 25 of 36 passes for 353 yards and two touchdowns. Jauan Jennings caught seven passes for 93 yards.

Mayfield was 18 of 29 for 116 yards and a touchdown, with White catching six passes for 39 yards and a touchdown and Bucky Irving rushing for 73 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries.
