Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving gashed the 49ers for 73 yards and 1 score on 13 attempts. He out-carried Rachaad White by 3 and topped him in yards per carry (5.6 vs. 3.1).
Irving’s score came on a toss play from the 49ers' 12 yard-line. The Bucs blocked it up well, and Irving made one defender miss in space to reach the end zone.
White led the way in targets, 7-3. But Irving's 3 catches (and 3 targets) tied for his second most on the season.
Irving will supposedly manage a toe injury for the remainder of the season. But watching him play, he looks 100% healthy. After a Week 11 bye, his schedule (Giants, Panthers, Raiders) looks friendly for RB2 production.
