TAMPA – The San Francisco 49ers just defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 23-20. Here are the 49ers’ numbers for this play.

QUARTERLY: A-PLUS

Brock Purdy carried the 49ers to a victory, playing exceptionally well despite Kyle Shanahan’s ridiculous game plan (more on him in a minute). He threw for 353 yards, 2 touchdowns and no interceptions despite not having a run game or an offensive system that can pick up a blitz. Purdy still found a way to make some of the best plays of his career and lead a game-winning drive with just 41 seconds left. He was clearly the MVP of this game. His touchdown pass to George Kittle was brilliant and his blind throw from 30 yards to Christian McCaffrey while taking a hit was perhaps the best play of Purdy’s career to date. He was stuck.

RUNNING BACKS: B-MINUS

Christian McCaffrey helped the 49ers in the passing game by making six catches for 68 yards and preventing the Buccaneers from double-covering anyone else, but he averaged just 3.0 yards per carry. After the match he said he didn’t feel quite like himself. Meanwhile, Jordan Mason, who is in midseason form and one of the leading rushers in the NFL, got just one carry and gained five yards. The 49ers did the Buccaneers a favor by not using Mason.

VULLBACK: F

Never touched the ball.

WIDE RECIPIENTS: A

Jauan Jennings was the 49ers’ best receiver. He doesn’t stretch the field like Brandon Aiyuk used to, but Jennings still finds a way to produce. Today he led all receivers with 93 receiving yards playing split end for the first time. He deserves some Pro Bowl consideration. Ricky Pearsall was the 49ers’ second-best receiver: he had a 46-yard touchdown catch. And Deebo Samuel was the 49ers’ third-best receiver – he had a catch for 32 yards. As a runner, he doesn’t fool anyone anymore.

TIGHT END: A

George Kittle had three catches for 57 yards and a touchdown, and for some reason Shanahan didn’t give him the ball more often. Kittle is criminally underused.

OFFENSIVE LINE MAN: C

The running game failed to gain any momentum and Brock Purdy was sacked three times by a defense that had a terrible pass rush.

DEFENSIVE LINE MAN: C

Nick Bosa recorded a sack, but also missed a crucial tackle on 4th-and-7 when he had Baker Mayfield in his grasp and still allowed him to complete an 8-yard pass to extend the drive. Additionally, the 49ers gave up 5.7 yards per carry and a touchdown to rookie running back Bucky Irving.

LINEBACKERS: C-PLUS

They struggled against the run, but also limited the Buccaneers’ numbers. 1 target, Cade Otten, to just 35 yards and no touchdowns.

DEFENSIVE BACKS: A

Charvarius Ward didn’t play and the 49ers still gave up just 116 passing yards. Granted, the Buccaneers were missing both of their starting wideouts and didn’t have anyone who could get open consistently.

SPECIAL TEAMS: F-MINUS

Jacob Cowing muffed a punt and Jake Moody missed three field goal attempts. After the third miss, Deebo Samuel said something to Moody, which prompted long snapper Taybor Pepper to say something to Samuel, which prompted Samuel to grab Pepper by the throat. Poor visibility all around. The 49ers melted away on the sidelines during a victory. It’s clearly not a close-knit team yet.

COACHES: D

It’s hard to overstate how bad Kyle Shanahan was despite the win. His game plan was to bury Jordan Mason, force-feed Christian McCaffrey in his first game back from bilateral Achilles tendonitis, throw red zone passes that don’t cross the goal line, forget about George Kittle for long stretches and play for the field. goals with a kicker three games removed from a high ankle sprain. With a minute left in the first half, Purdy completed a 30-yard pass to Jennings and Shanahan didn’t call a timeout even though he had three left. Instead, he let the clock run out and ended up calling for a field goal that Moody missed. Then he showed absolutely zero creativity in the red zone. On first downs, he usually called a run between the tackles that were filling up. On second and long, he usually called for a low-percentage pass to the back pylon. When he was on third and long, he generally called passes that didn’t even get past the line of scrimmage. He coached like he was trying not to lose, and on top of that, he lost control of his team when two players nearly fought each other on the sideline during the fourth quarter. And his decision to waive Anders Carlsen and play Jake Moody nearly cost the 49ers the game. Shanahan is not having a good season. Luckily for him he has Purdy.
