SANTA CLARA — Ten games into the 49ers season and not one interception has come from their cornerbacks. Instead, safeties Jaquiski Tartt and Antone Exum account for all two of the team’s picks – out of opponents’ 356 pass attempts.
If any team can relate, it’s the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Entering Sunday’s home game against the 49ers, the Bucs have only one interception, and their defense hasn’t created a takeaway since Week 3.
“It’s one of the reasons both teams not having much success,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “When you don’t get turnovers, it’s hard to capitalize on how well the offense has done.
