Early-season trends: The good and bad from the first 10 games of the NBA season

The 10-game mark seems to be a good point in the NBA calendar to start taking measures of where teams stand. Kai Gammage takes a look at some teams, players and general trends that are looking promising or concerning at this point in the season.

All’s well that ends well — or, at least, that’s what the San Francisco 49ers hope.

Star receiver Deebo Samuel appeared to physically attack long snapper Taybor Pepper and kicker Jake Moody after a third missed field goal during the 49ers’ 23-20 win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Replays showed Samuel lunging at Pepper’s neck near the sideline before hitting Moody’s helmet.

Pepper attempted to follow Samuel after the incident before being held back by Moody.

Moody, the second-year kicker, rebounded to convert a game-winning 44-yard field goal as time expired.

After the game, Samuel said he was “frustrated” and that the aggressive reaction was “out of character.”

“I’ll talk to Moody and we’ll get past it,” he told reporters in the locker room.

Pepper also didn’t seem too bothered about the incident after the game.

“He was telling him to lock in, and we know what our job is,” Pepper told reporters. “We got us. It’s hard being a specialist, sometimes it’s feast or famine. As a young developing specialist like Jake is … I don’t know how much better it gets than missing three straight and having to step up and hitting an almost 50-yard game-winner. I’m super proud of Jake.”

The win moved the 49ers to 5-4 as they look to make a run in the second half of the season.
