Sorry for posting if this was already mentioned, but today's win was the 49ers first win at TB since 11/14/1993. In their 3 games there since then, and before today, they had been outscored 79-15.

Yeah, that 1993 win was at Tampa Stadium (a.k.a. "The Big Sombrero"), and the game was on CBS back then.

Eric Branch:

Reid had a sea of teammates around him when he picked off a deflected pass at Tampa Bay’s 22-yard line with just under two minutes left, but he eschewed a chance for a touchdown and fell to the ground in the 49ers' 33-14 win:

“It probably would have been the easiest touchdown of my life,” Reid said. “I just decided to do the right thing. If we score, that’s another kickoff we have to cover. Another opportunity for someone to get hurt. The defense has to go back out and it’s another opportunity for someone to get hurt. I think we’re going into the end of the year -- let’s preserve our bodies and let’s go home … I looked up and I saw nothing but white jerseys. You kind of think about it, but at the end of the day I think I made the right decision.”

That doesn't sound like a rookie talking.

Reid isn't your average rookie. In fact, Reid isn't your average football player when he speaks. He can actually form complete sentences and talk eloquently if he has to. That's something most NFL players can't do.

Lets hope he can retain that ability after all the head shots he's taken this year.
