Despite the setback of that overturned fumble recovery call, Tampa Bay are quickly back in 49ers territory. A Chase McLaughlin's 49-yard field goal effort is wide right. That would have made it a two-score game with less than nine minutes left. Fourth and five, four minutes left on the clock. The Bengals take a timeout.

When Samuel was on the field for the 49ers in 2024, their estimated points added per play was 0.072. Without him, their EPA per play was 0.046. Which means they tended to be more efficient and score more points when defenses had to account for Samuel.
