48. . 3-7. Previous: . Tampa Bay Buccaneers. 28. team

Recap: Dirk Koetter’s club headed north to take on an NFC East opponent for the second straight week as the Buccaneers clashed with the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium. And for the second consecutive Sunday, the Tampa offense gained over 500 total yards and still found a way to come up short on the scoreboard. Ryan Fitzpatrick again got the start but would be pulled after throwing three interceptions. Jameis Winston would take over and finish with 199 yards and two scores but was also picked off once as well. The Bucs made it interesting down the stretch but it simply added up to the team’s fourth straight loss.

Next Week: The Niners get back to action this Sunday when they travel to Tampa Bay to take on the struggling Buccaneers. It will be a bit of an old home week for 49ers’ general manager John Lynch who was a big part of the franchise’s glory days and a pivotal member of the club’s Super Bowl championship team in 2002.

Playoff hopes: This is a franchise that hasn’t reached the playoffs since 2007 and it certainly doesn’t look like that streak will be coming to an end. Make it 29 turnovers in 10 games for Koetter’s club, including a combined 23 interceptions by Fitzpatrick (12) and Winston (11). A lot has gone wrong since the team’s 2-0 start.

Next: No. 27
