Buccaneers vs. San Francisco 49ers

LOSS - Tampa Bay Buccaneers 10 San Francisco 49ers 24

Joe Montana completed 29 of 45 passes for 304 yards, and Jerry Rice caught 7 passes for 103 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterbacks Montana and Steve DeBerg entered the game as the number one- and two-rated passers in the NFC, respectively, but DeBerg was held to 205 yards passing.

2nd-year cornerback Rod Jones was victimized on two of Rice's touchdown receptions. On one of these, Rice found Jones in single coverage, and took the ball 42 yards by simply outrunning him.

James Wilder carried the ball 11 times for 48 yards, and scored his first touchdown of the year on a screen pass. Two Buccaneer fourth quarter scoring opportunities ended in turnovers.
