San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones earned one of the escalators in his contract after helping the team win on Sunday Night against the Atlanta Falcons.

33 years ago: Devon White made the best catch I’ve ever seen. The Jays won the game, 3-2, taking a 2 to 1 lead in the series. Without that catch, we likely wouldn’t have won the game (two runs would have been scored, and the Braves would have had a runner in scoring position with […]

Kaden Elliss INT gives much-needed spark vs. 49ers As the San Francisco 49ers came out after Atlanta’s field goal and NBC broadcaster Mike Tirico informed the NFL world that Divine Deablo had left the game, my heart sank.

The Atlanta Falcons knew they’d have to stop Christian McCaffrey, and they knew they’d need to attack a vulnerable San Francisco linebacker corps and secondary.

The San Francisco 49ers forced a three-and-out on the first drive of the game, thanks to a Robert Saleh blitz.
