TAMPA — The Bucs turned Raymond James into Ray Jay Runway and strutted to a 30-19 win over the Niners, and yeah, that’s a big dill. Tampa jumped on a short field after an early pick and let Rachaad White (14 carries, 57 yards, 1 TD) punch it in. San Francisco answered with chunk plays — hello, Kendrick Bourne (5 catches, 142 yards) — and a goal‑line finish from Christian McCaffrey (17 for 54 and a TD; plus 6 grabs for 34) to make it a track meet. But even with Eddy Piñeiro drilling four field goals from downtown — 52, 54, 42 and 29 — the Bucs carried a 20-16 lead into the break.

The hinge of the whole afternoon swung in Q3 when Baker Mayfield (14/20, 226 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT) Houdini’d out of a 3rd‑and‑14 with a 15‑yard scramble, then uncorked a 45‑yard dime to rookie Tez Johnson on the very next snap. That two‑play magic trick flipped the vibe from “here we go” to “here we roll,” and Tampa never looked back. (sbnation.com)

From there the pewter pass rush started cooking. Lavonte David ripped a strip‑sack and recovery, Yaya Diaby kept piling up QB tax, Haason Reddick and C.J. Brewer teamed on a drive‑killer, and Jamel Dean iced a late possession with a pick. Chase McLaughlin clanked a 49‑yarder but cashed the insurance 45‑yarder inside two minutes to lock the door at 30‑19. Credit Tampa’s balance: White’s early tone‑setter, Sean Tucker’s 9‑yard burst, plus chain‑moving grabs from Cade Otton (5 for 51) and big strikes to Kameron Johnson (34‑yard TD before half, key fourth‑quarter grabs).

On the Niners’ side, Mac Jones stacked yards — 25/36 for 321 — but the red‑zone doors stayed closed, and those splash plays to Bourne couldn’t buy six. Around the edges, two storylines to monitor: Bucs rookie Emeka Egbuka exited with a hamstring and didn’t return, while SF star LB Fred Warner left early with an ankle injury — both developments the teams will be holding their breath on.

Big Dill of the Game: Baker Mayfield — clean sheet, two tutties, and the scramble‑spark that lit the fuse. That’s grown‑man quarterbacking, folks. I’m Dillon “Big Dill” Smith for Big Dill Sports — where ballin’ is a big dill. Catch you next time.
