Latest news and updates about the 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers had a nice 26-8 win over the Cleveland Browns this weekend to take them to 9-4 heading into a much-awaited bye week. It wasn’t the prettiest day. The 49ers were dealing with wind, struggled in the run game on both sides, and were in a 10-8 battle at halftime. But, behind […]

What will the San Francisco 49ers get in Eric Kendricks? For head coach Kyle Shanahan, it’s too early to tell: “Yeah, I definitely think he has a chance to, that’s why we liked him coming here. But you know, last week we had three days, and it was a short week, and we didn’t do […]

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch was asked whether he had a realistic belief that Brandon Aiyuk would play for the team this season: Realistic? I’m not sure. Hopeful? Yeah.

For the first time in forever, the San Francisco 49ers won the coin toss in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns. Generally, the Niners defer to the second half. Not this time.

The Cleveland Browns’ defense was a mixed bag against the 49ers. The only drive that was really earned by the 49ers, in my opinion, came in the final seconds of the first half, when Brock Purdy took some risks to get them into field goal range. Besides that, the 49ers’ three touchdown drives began at […]

The Cleveland Browns’ offense out-gained the 49ers in yards 253-252, but in between the numbers, things weren’t good enough.

The Browns had three drives in the first half that were shaping up to be sustained […]

When the San Francisco 49ers went from Richard Hightower as a special teams coordinator to Brian Schneider, it was like the saying, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” Outside of Robbie Gould’s excellence, the coverage units were shaky at best, the return game was non-existent, and the special teams units were a […]

The only head-scratcher now is how bright Moore’s future is. Moore has been one of the key players in making the 49ers’ special teams one […]
