The Bucs ended their four-game losing streak with a comfortable home win over an admittedly poor 49ers team down to their third string QB and missing most of their top receivers. Jameis Winston returned as starter and led an offense that did not turn the ball over at all whilst the defense recorded four sacks and their first two interceptions since the third week of the season..
