The Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offensive production hasn't been the reason behind the team's four-game slump. Many would have figured that the Bucs' offense would have taken a step back since the injuries suffered to wide receivers Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, but it hadn't shown until this week.

Up to this point, Baker Mayfield and offensive coordinator Liam Coen had put up a masterclass without their two stars, but on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers Mayfield only had just over 100 yards passing for one score while the Bucs' top receivers were two running backs and tight end Cade Otton - Ryan Miller was the leading wideout on the day with 11 yards.

Although the passing game wasn't up to par with what we are used to, the running game once again reached over 100 yards with rookie Bucky Irving leading the way with 113 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown.

Here is how the Buccaneers' offensive players graded out in their heartbreaking walk-off loss to the 49ers.
