The San Francisco 49ers lost more than a football game in Tampa Bay on Sunday.
While the scoreboard reads a 30-19 win for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, dropping the 49ers to 4-2 on the season, the headlines will be all about the loss of Fred Warner, who went down with a season-ending ankle injury in the first quarter on Sunday.
The emotional blow proved to be too much for the 49ers to overcome, as they just couldn’t find a response to Baker Mayfield and the Tampa Bay offense. With that said, these are the three stars from Sunday’s emotional loss:
Third star: WR Kendrick Bourne
Like in Week 6, Bourne’s day started with a mistake but would later turn into a big game.
Against the Rams last week, Bourne had an early third-down drop, but finished his game with a career-high 142 receiving yards
