Mike Evans' 49ers debut proved to be the most pivotal, as the 33-year-old looked every bit like the six-time Pro Bowler he was with the Buccaneers in his first game playing in a different uniform. Evans was clutch and in classic form, highlighted by a 2-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter off a Brock Purdy fade. It was Evans' 37th career TD catch of 5 yards or fewer -- tying him for second all time.

Evans' 6 catches, 49 yards, TD in debut ties him for 2nd all-time in short TDs

Evans made a phenomenal 49ers debut at age 33, finishing tied for game high with six receptions for 49 yards and a 2-yard touchdown reception in the third quarter; he had three third-down conversions on the opening drive and his TD catch tied him for second all time with 37 career TD receptions of 5 yards or fewer, demonstrating he remains a clutch red-zone weapon in his new uniform.
