Latest news and updates about the 49ers
We don’t yet know when each of the Rams’ 2026 games will be, but we do know which teams they’ll play at home and on the road. The Rams will obviously face the rest of the NFC West — the Cardinals, 49ers and Seahawks — in home and away matchups next season. They’ve also got […]
49ers game review: The back-breaking play that left John Lynch screaming (paywall) “The big play was part of a game in which the 49ers missed a season-high 18 tackles, according to Pro Football Focus, a reason they missed out on a chance to win the NFC West title and claim the conference’s No. 1 seed. […]
Now that the NFC playoff bracket is official, the San Francisco 49ers have their Wild Card weekend opponent set. Philadelphia losing to Washington means they are the 3-seed, and will host the Niners. The last time these two teams faced each other, Deebo Samuel had a day to remember in Philadelphia, and the 49ers won […]
The Philadelphia Eagles are three-point home favorites in their Wild Card playoff game against the San Francisco 49ers next weekend, according to FanDuel Sportsbook. For the uninitiated, the home team being favored by three points is standard in a game with two teams that are viewed to be relatively even. UPDATE: As I was writing […]
The NFC playoff picture is officially set as the Philadelphia Eagles have clinched the No. 3 seed in the conference.. There was still a chance that Nick Sirianni’s team could earn the No. 2 seed, but they needed to beat the Washington Commanders in Week 18, and also needed the Chicago Bears to lose to […]
The San Francisco 49ers host the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday evening. The winner will earn a coveted bye week as the No. 1 seed in the playoff picture. The loser travels to Tampa Bay. Or Carolina. Perhaps Chicago. Maybe even Philadelphia. Despite what happens Saturday night, it would not be a surprise to see the […]
The San Francisco 49ers anxiously await their Wild Card opponent. On Sunday afternoon, a Los Angeles Rams win over the Arizona Cardinals would mean the Niners are the sixth seed. If the Rams lose, the 49ers will travel to the NFC South winner, which turned out to be the Carolina Panthers. The Rams are 14.5-point […]
The San Francisco 49ers will find out who their Wild Card opponent will be next week before Sunday night football kicks off. One of their potential matchups, the Philadelphia Eagles, will rest several starters on Sunday. Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and the entire starting offensive line are not listed among the […]
The Seattle Seahawks’ season is not over. Yet it is already a success. Seattle hired Mike Macdonald to re-establish the franchise back on its rightful perch atop the NFC West, by way of a full defensive makeover. His job was clear: tame the offenses of football’s two pre-eminent masterminds, out-genius the other two geniuses in […]
This is not a bunch of woulda, coulda, shoulda. The 49ers were scheduled to play on Saturday, and they lost 13-3 to the Seattle Seahawks that night. Lost is not the right word: they got suffocated Saturday. It doesn’t help matters when offensive tackle Trent Williams and wide receiver Ricky Pearsall are both out for […]
Earlier this week I wrote a pregame article about the Seahawks season coming full circle in this Week 18 game between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers. That couldn’t have been more true with how this contest turned out, a thoroughly dominant 13-3 road victory riddled with missed opportunities that would’ve saved all Seahawks […]
Once again, the Seattle Seahawks came into another stadium held the NFL’s number one offense to single-digit points. The San Francisco 49ers got to stay home and prepare for an entire week, with home-field advantage all the way through the Super Bowl on the line. They scored three points. But take heart! You’re not alone […]
Fooch has the strutting pony that we all have for when the San Francisco 49ers win. When things don’t go our way, I give you angry John Lynch: If anything sums up the 49ers fans’ thoughts on their 13-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, it’s that emotion right there. That reaction happened on a third […]
What Kyle Shanahan and others said after 49ers’ 13-3 loss vs. Seahawks“You talked a lot about wanting to stay here and not go back on the road, and now you know that you have to. What’s the feeling and what have you said to the team? “Oh, we’re ready for it. I mean, yeah, it […]
When the Seattle Seahawks lost to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 11, running the table was effectively the only realistic path toward winning the NFC West over the Rams and San Francisco 49ers. That meant winning seven consecutive regular season games for the first time since 2013. They ran the damn table, and all […]
The Seattle Seahawks are NFC West champions after a superb defensive display against the San Francisco 49ers, holding them to just a field goal and 173 yards of total offense in their own building. For the Seahawks, the hope is that it’s the first of two trips to Santa Clara, with the second coming in […]
The Seattle Seahawks made the loudest possible statement with their NFC West title win over the San Francisco 49ers. While the offense may have played much better than the 13 points suggested, the defense was every bit as dominant as the 3 points allowed indicated. For context: Seattle had 180 yards rushing and the 49ers […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ defense didn’t put up much of a fight on the first drive. The Seattle Seahawks picked up nine yards on the second play from scrimmage, then 20 yards on the third play. After getting Seattle into a 3rd & 4 situation, Sam Darnold had enough time to work to his fourth […]
The Seattle Seahawks held all the cards and their path to the one seed in the NFC was there for the taking and they took it. With their win on Saturday, they get a first-round bye and every opponent they face on the path to the Super Bowl will have to hear the 12th man […]
The Seattle Seahawks are dominating the San Francisco 49ers through the first 30 minutes, something we’ve rarely said in recent seasons. It’s only 10-3 at the break. The Seahawks wasted an opening drive with a bad Sam Darnold sack on what should’ve been an easy touchdown to Zach Charbonnet, subsequently failing to convert on 4th […]
The San Francisco 49ers will wear their all-black rival jerseys tonight against the Seattle Seahawks. Brock Purdy and the offense won’t have their most dangerous wide receiver or all-everything left tackle. The Seahawks are already stingy enough, but being short-handed at two of the most critical positions will make Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy, and everybody […]
The NFL has two games on it’s Week 17 Saturday slate and they’re both huge games to decide division titles. The Seattle Seahawks are traveling south to take on the San Francisco 49ers for the NFC West title. The winner clinches the No. 1 seed in the NFC, a first-round bye, home-field advantage throughout the […]
The biggest regular season game in Seattle Seahawks history is here. Seattle has had the No. 1 seed three times before, reaching the Super Bowl every time. In none of those previous instances did the Seahawks need to play a “winner take all” regular season finale to clinch the division and the top spot in […]
The Seattle Seahawks inactives have been announced for their NFC West title game against the San Francisco 49ers. As expected, Charles Cross is out for a third straight game due to a hamstring injury, while safety Coby Bryant needs more time for his knee injury to heal. The biggest news is who’s not on the […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ inactive list is out. A feel-good story ahead of the game is that longtime announcer Greg Papa plans to return to the 49ers radio booth for the Seattle Seahawks game.
