Week 5 NFL Power Rankings: Where do the 49ers rank among undefeated teams?
The San Francisco 49ers are only one of three NFL teams that have started the season 4-0 in 2026, joining the Kansas City Chiefs and the Minnesota Vikings. Thus far, their +58 point differential leads the NFL, and they also have two big wins on their resume: the Los Angeles Rams and the Denver Broncos. […]
5 final observations from the 49ers win over the Broncos
The San Francisco 49ers used a fourth-quarter touchdown from George Kittle to beat the Denver Broncos 24-14 on Sunday night, getting past another marquee opponent as they climbed to 4-0. This game was a different type of win for the 49ers, as the offense didn’t hum at its usual level, while the defense mitigated the […]
Why 1 unit has surprised in big way through 4 weeks
The San Francisco 49ers have been on a roll to start the season, going 4-0 with wins over the Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, and Denver Broncos. After an elite offense carried the way through the first three weeks, it was San Francisco’s defense that looked great on Sunday, holding Denver’s offense to […]
49ers News: We’re on to Seattle
I was watching some of the Seattle-Washington game today, trying to get a sense of how the Commanders managed to beat the defending champs. One factor was Sonny Styles. He dominated from the linebacker position, making game-changing plays in pass coverage. You could tell he played high-level basketball, this wasn’t just “good coverage for a […]
Monday Night Football live discussion: Falcons at Saints
The San Francisco 49ers take on the Atlanta Falcons in a couple of weeks. Michael Penix and the Dirty Birds face Tyler Shough and the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football to close out Week 4. Atlanta looked like a completely different team with Michael Penix under center. Bijan Robinson is electric; that hasn’t […]
49ers injury updates: Marques Sigle has the dreaded high ankle sprain
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates on Monday afternoon. He confirmed Kyle Juszczyk has a hyperextended knee. Juice is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. Shanahan said Luke Farrell and Brayden Willis will take over Juszczyk’s role. “They’re all pretty interchangeable, but it’ll definitely get Brayden some more ops.” Safety Marques Sigle […]
49ers grades: Raheem Morris colt-pletely shuts down Bo Nix and the Broncos
The San Francisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos by double digits at home. After a slow start, the offense finished the game with three consecutive touchdown drives. But the defense kept the Broncos in their stall all game. They responded well after a shaky fourth quarter in Week 3. Here are my positional grades for […]
Dre Greenlaw and Deebo Samuel used same motivation to help 49ers past Broncos
The 49ers knew what to expect from their Week 4 matchup with the Denver Broncos, and it played out exactly as they anticipated. San Francisco’s 24-14 win over Denver was a rock fight. An ultra-physical battle of wills in which the 49er offense had to be very patient in grinding down the Broncos’ vaunted defense, […]
49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a bone bruise
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the San Francisco 49ers will be without Kyle Juszczyk for a ‘couple of weeks’ due to a hyperextended knee. Those were the initial tests. Juszczyk will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm whether those initial tests were accurate. Juszczyk has played a pivotal role for the 49ers this season. […]
3 stars from the 49ers win over the Broncos: Siran Neal saves the day
It wasn’t the most convincing of wins, but it was a win nonetheless, as the San Francisco 49ers withstood the Denver Broncos and the heat, moving to 4-0 on the season with a 24-14 victory. A slow first half for both sides ended with a blocked Eddy Pineiro field goal, which added to the slow […]
NFC West Recap: 49ers remain in first place, Rams and Seahawks win
4-0. That’s all. The San Francisco 49ers are 4-0 and look like a 4-0 team. The Denver Broncos were the first big test for the 2026 offense, and they passed with flying colors. Yes, there were injured defensive backs with the Broncos, but the 49ers don’t have their starting wide receivers 100 percent healthy either. […]
49ers prove age is just a number with unique piece of NFL history
In recent years, 49ers GM John Lynch has spoken regularly about San Francisco’s roster needing to get younger, and the front office has made plenty of moves with that goal in mind. But four weeks into the 2026 season it is the still plentiful old heads on the San Francisco offense that have powered the […]
49ers News: A very sweaty Victory Monday
What absolute freaking warriors. They showed so much grit and resilience today that I feel like my expectations are immediately raised for the rest of the season. It was good to see what it looks like when the 49ers offense faces a serious defense. It won’t always be fireworks and big runs. But when the […]
8 Winners, 3 losers, and 1 IDK from the 49ers win over the Broncos
It was the kind of win that proves your mettle as a San Francisco 49ers player. This is what an NFL game looks like. You can’t expect everything to go your way. You’re not going to score on every drive against a playoff-caliber team. It took the offense a half to heat up, but once […]
3 quick takeaways from 49ers win over Broncos: Timely plays put Niners on top for 2nd straight week
The San Francisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos 24-14 to start the season 4-0 on Sunday and cap off a three-game home stretch with another quality win. Over the first three weeks, the 49ers offense dominated, but it took a while to get things going on Sunday, as San Francisco had just 10 points through […]

George Kittle and the 49ers outrun the Broncos to stay undefeated
The San Francisco 49ers defense began the game with a three-and-out. Cornerback Renardo Green was involved in two of the three plays. The Denver Broncos wanted a pass-interference call, but the ref saw it differently. After a 57-yard punt pinned the offense at their six-yard line, the Niners picked up a couple of first downs […]
49ers-Broncos game thread: Points, points, and more points at Levi’s Stadium
In my experience, hot weather usually means more scoring, whether it’s football or baseball. In this case, both defenses are coming off performances in which they faced more than 80 plays each. Tired legs might carry over into Week 4. We know the San Francisco 49ers don’t struggle to score. They’ve spoiled fans to the […]
49ers get Romello Height back; Mike Evans will play today
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans was listed as questionable heading into Week 4 with a rib injury. Kyle Shanahan said his star wideout would be a game-time decision. Evans told the media on Friday, “It’s my job”: I take pride in trying to suit up every chance I get. If the injury isn’t […]
Mike Evans taking a precaution to play for 49ers vs. Broncos
Mike Evans has been a doubt for the 49ers’ Week 4 game with the Denver Broncos since leaving the field in tremendous pain in last Sunday’s win over the Arizona Cardinals. But the veteran wide receiver will be on the field at Levi’s Stadium as the Niners face arguably their toughest test of the season […]

NFL game discussion: Early morning football followed by Rams-Eagles
The 49ers don’t get going until 1:25 p.m., and while the 10 a.m. slate is busy, I completely forgot we’ve got a London game today! The Colts and Commanders square off in a matchup of 1-2 teams at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The game is getting underway at 6:30 a.m., so hopefully y’all are able to […]
49ers News: Game day
It’s a great day to root for old friends Jim Harbaugh and Mike McDaniel, as they try to save their season playing against the defending champion Seattle Seahawks. It’s also a great day to root for the NFC East, given that the Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants are playing against the Los Angeles Rams […]
Matthew Judon will make his debut with the 49ers in Week 4
The San Francisco 49ers promoted defensive tackle Sebastian Valdez from the practice squad. After a valiant effort against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 3, the Niners announced that they waived edge rusher Viliami Fehoko Jr. Defensive coordinator Raheem Morris is choosing someone he has experience with at the position. Edge rusher Matthew Judon was elevated […]
Colin Kaepernick suggests the 49ers were tanking with Chip Kelly in 2016
2016 was a rough time to be a 49ers fan, with the team going 2-14 while dealing with a dysfunctional front office. Former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick suggests the 49ers didn’t want to win anyway. Kaepernick’s memoir, “The Perilous Fight,” has been out for a couple of weeks and tells his perspective on growing up […]
