It wasn't the prettiest game, but all that matters is getting the win and the 49ers did that Sunday thanks to Ahkello Witherspoon.
The 49ers held a 23-17 lead over the Bucs with a little over two minutes to play when Jameis Winston dropped back and sailed a pass intended for Ronald Jones right into the hands of Ahkello Witherspoon. The 49ers cornerback wasted no time returning the interception 26 yards to seal the 31-17 win for the 49ers in Tampa.
