\"We're the San Francisco 49ers, we can do whatever we want.\"
The San Francisco 49ers’ undefeated streak against the NFC West came to a crashing halt on Sunday after a blowout 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

Ricky Pearsall ready to return; more ramp-up for Brock Purdy: 49ers minutia minute (paywall)“Shanahan said Ricky Pearsall is on track to return to practice Wednesday. Pearsall injured his knee against the Jaguars and to this point hasn’t hit his speed baselines when running on a side field. “Hopefully the next two days go good, and […]
The Green Bay Packers are coming off an embarrassing loss against the Carolina Panthers. Those same Panthers just lost by ten points to the New Orleans Saints. On the flip side, the Philadelphia Eagles have won two in a row, scoring 28 and 38 points respectively. Last week, Saquon Barkley came alive and ran all […]

[…]
The San Francisco 49ers had a disappointing 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, dropping to 6-4 and falling 1.5 games back in the NFC West. It was an ugly game from the start, as Los Angeles quickly got out to a 21-0 run, doing whatever they wanted offensively and forcing a key […]
Sunday was a rough day for the San Francisco 49ers’ defense against Matthew Stafford and the Los Angeles Rams. Stafford became the first quarterback in NFL history to throw four touchdowns and zero interceptions in three straight games, and the Rams routinely picked on different players from their new 13 personnel wrinkle. The 49ers’ defense […]
The San Francisco 49ers put their undefeated NFC West record on the line against a surging Los Angeles Rams team in hopes of a repeat of the Week 5 result. But after allowing a Rams touchdown on each of the first three drives, San Francisco found themselves in a 21-0 hole that proved to be […]
Have a fun, entertaining game where you win, and follow that up with a loss. That’s been the cycle for the San Francisco 49ers since late September. A myriad of injuries on both sides of the ball have led to Kyle Shanahan and Robert Saleh being over-reliant on players who have no business playing meaningful […]
In the wake of a defeat in which the Los Angeles Rams did basically whatever they wanted when they had the ball, the search for reasons to be cheerful for the 49ers might seem as futile as San Francisco’s comeback efforts ultimately proved to be. But the cause for optimism as the 49ers, now 6-4, […]
Yeah, this is not going to be a good Monday. The San Francisco 49ers suffered their first NFC West divisional loss on Sunday to the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams are good, and the 49ers—specifically their defense—are snakebit with injuries. The loss puts the Rams into a tie with the Seahawks. The two will play […]
After sobering loss to Rams, 49ers seek reset as Brock Purdy nears return (paywall)“This week’s opponent, the Cardinals, who lost 44-22 to Seattle, are a much softer re-entry place for Purdy than the Rams defense would have been. The same goes for the grass in Arizona, as opposed to the turf the last two weeks […]
The San Francisco 49ers had an ugly 42-26 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in a game that they trailed by at least two scores for over 40 minutes. It was an ugly start for San Francisco, one they couldn’t overcome as the defense struggled and the offense had some costly turnovers that led to […]
The San Francisco 49ers did not get off to the start that they wanted. The Los Angeles Rams did what most teams do on their opening drive, taking ten plays to score a touchdown, with little resistance. In what needed to be a game of keep away, the 49ers offense went three-and-out on its first […]
We have a Week 5 rematch between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams. The 49ers were victors on the road, thanks to some heroics from Alfred Collins and timely defensive stops. This time around, the 49ers won’t have Collins. Nor will they have Fred Warner. Robert Saleh will have his hands full […]

The Atlanta Falcons fell to the Indianapolis Colts in Berlin this morning. The early slate in Week 10 features some watchable games as well as a couple of games where the weather will dictate quite a bit. There is snow and wind in Chicago.

The San Francisco 49ers are back in action on Sunday, taking on the Los Angeles Rams at Levi’s Stadium, with much at stake in the NFC West. Earlier this season, the 49ers had a big upset over the Rams back in Week 5, winning 26-23 in an overtime game despite dealing with a flurry of […]
How Brock Purdy helped the 49ers prepare for the Rams“It’s been awesome having Brock in there. He’s kind of splitting the reps of the scout team with Adrian. But just having two quarterbacks in there, especially Brock, who can make some of these plays, look people off, do some of the things Stafford does, it […]
The San Francisco 49ers officially placed Mykel Williams on the Injured Reserve on Saturday.

The San Francisco 49ers may want Brock Purdy to start Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams, but he’s recovering from an injury. Maybe he’s getting pushed this week, but he’s recovering from an injury. And yes, he could still dress as QB2 — because he’s recovering from an injury. That’s it. No quarterback controversy, no […]
49ers’ NFL grandmaster Christian McCaffrey has kept team from facing checkmate (paywall)“A regular on Chess.com, his username is rather conspicuous. It’s his first and last name, followed by some random assortment of numbers. He isn’t sure if his Greek opponent knows it was the NFL leader in carries, touches and scrimmage yards who just checkmated his […]
