The San Francisco 49ers got back to their early-season form just in time for their most crucial stretch of the regular season. Thanks to a flawless performance from Brock Purdy, big plays from Brandon Aiyuk and a strong defensive performance, the 49ers beat Tampa Bay 27-14 on Sunday for their second straight convincing win following a three-game losing streak. “We’re taking steps in the right direction,” tight end George Kittle said.
