What happened

A.Anzalone intercepted M.Penix twice in barely two minutes of the first quarter, N.Folk pushed a 53-yarder wide left, and Atlanta's offense never recovered from the shock. Bi.Robinson found no daylight, Tampa found plenty on the ground, and a 16-0 shutout erased whatever goodwill the 49ers win had bought. The pattern is familiar enough to feel scripted: one encouraging Sunday, then a collapse. The only open question is whether this team can string together two good weeks, or just two bad ones.
