I had to squint very hard to find two bounce-back candidates for the 49ers on Sunday. Kendrick Bourne didn’t need to bounce back, but followed up his Thursday night performance with another big receiving day. Renardo Green was good again in coverage for the second straight week. Mac Jones didn’t play terribly, but just not as well as he did against Los Angeles. Jake Tonges was solid again, and Christian McCaffrey continues his streak of the hardest-fought 100-yard scrimmage games in NFL history.
So, who did I settle on from Sunday’s loss to Tampa Bay?
