The biggest takeaway for the 49ers on Sunday? Takeaways. Four, to be precise. The Niners listened all offseason as they were reminded of their futility in the game's most important statistical category in 2018 when they set league records for fewest turnovers created (seven) and interceptions (two). Against the Bucs, they came up with three picks -- including two returned for touchdowns -- and a fumble recovery. On a day when they won by 14 points, those two scores provided the difference and gave Niners coach Kyle Shanahan his first winning record in season since he took over in 2017. "It was huge," Shanahan said. "It's good to have that monkey off your back a little bit."
The 49ers ride two pick-sixes -- and three picks overall -- to a season-opening victory in Tampa.
Richard Sherman and Ahkello Witherspoon returned two of a retooled San Francisco defense's three interceptions of Jameis Winston for touchdowns and Robbie Gould kicked three field goals in the 49ers's 31-17 victory over Tampa Bay on Sunday.
The 49ers ruled out running back Tevin Coleman with an ankle injury.
Richard Sherman, who has been a vocal opponent of the new rule allowing teams to challenge pass interference calls and non-calls, was on the wrong end of one on Sunday.
49ers CB Richard Sherman comes up with his first interception as a member of the team and the first pick by a Niners corner since the 2017 season. He returned it 25 yards for a touchdown to give San Francisco a 20-7 lead in the third quarter. That's the second Niners interception of the game, which matches their total interceptions from all of last season.
