After a 28-0 victory over the Rams to open the season, nothing has gone right for the 49ers (1-6) in their first season under Kelly.
After taking a 14-0 lead in the first quarter against the visiting Tampa Bay Buccaneers, the San Francisco 49ers looked like they might be able to break a five-game losing streak. But the Bucs turned it on after the first 15 minutes of play to run away with an easy road win at Levi's Stadium.
Since parting ways with running back Frank Gore after the 2014 season, the San Francisco 49ers have been struggling to establish a consistent running game. While RB Carlos Hyde has the potential to be very good, he cannot seem to stay healthy.

Colin Kaepernick showed flashes of the quarterback he used to be in his first start in nearly a year.
McCoy had 140 yards rushing and matched a career high by scoring three times, and the Bills extended their winning streak to four with a 45-16 victory over San Francisco and new starter Colin Kaepernick Sunday.
Amid loud chants of "USA! USA! USA!," San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick knelt for the national anthem Sunday in his continuing protest against racial oppression and police brutality.

The team's struggles go far beyond the play of the quarterback. While Blaine Gabbert hasn't performed well, who really knows if Kaepernick can come in and play better.
The team announced the news Monday, a day after Bowman left a game against Dallas with the injury.

San Francisco 49ers legend Jerry Rice has changed his tone about Colin Kaepernick's protest of the national anthem.
