On Sunday afternoon, the San Jose Sharks and forward Alexander Wennberg agreed to a three-year, $18- million contract extension. For the 31-year-old center, it was a nice payday for a player with 26 points in the first 41 games of the season.
Considering the similar statistical profiles, the extension of Wennberg prompted some discussion about what a potential Christian Dvorak extension might look like with the Philadelphia Flyers, and it appears there may be real truth to those discussi...

The San Francisco 49ers put up a stinker in the season finale against the Seattle Seahawks. It was a game that highlighted the discrepancy between the Jimmys and Joes on each team.

All three of the San Francisco 49ers starting linebackers are dealing with injuries, and Tatum Bethune has been ruled out for the playoff run with a groin injury. Their starting WILL, Dee Winters, has an ankle injury, and their starting SAM, Luke Gifford, has a quad injury. There’s still a chance that Winters and Gifford […]
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan announced linebacker Tatum Bethune will miss the postseason after suffering a significant groin injury in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks. Shanahan said Bethune might need surgery for the tear. Linebacker Dee Winters, who appeared to have gotten his calf stepped on, has an ankle injury, and Luke […]
Finding three standouts from Saturday night might be a challenging task, but we’re going to give it the old college try. The San Francisco 49ers picked an unfortunate time to have their worst team performance of the season, dropping their Week 18 clash with the Seattle Seahawks by a score of 13-3, and quite frankly, […]
If you can believe it, Spring Training is right around the corner.

Our latest name is one that has been all over the […]
Oh how sweet it is to win a division title and the number one seed. It’s even sweeter when it happens on the road against a team that’s had the upper hands for years. The Seattle Seahawks are NFC West champions and the top team in the conference after what had to be the most […]
We are in a cycle in which teams request coaching and general manager interviews. For years, the San Francisco 49ers were consistently losing key personnel from their front office and coaching staff. That slowed down last season after a 6-win stint, but it should pick up this offseason. Sure enough, NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported […]
The San Francisco 49ers’ 2025 season continues into the playoffs. Now that the regular season has concluded, we know the Niners will have a third-place schedule in 2026.

On Saturday night, two candidates for the NFL’s Coach of the Year award entered Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, with the NFC’s No. 1 seed on the line. The San Francisco 49ers headman, Kyle Shanahan, stood on one sideline after somehow propelling an injury-riddled 49ers team to a 12-4 season. On the other was […]

The regular season is over, and the San Francisco 49ers will be the No. 6 seed in the NFC after losing a tough game to the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, with the NFC West title and the No. 1 seed on the line. After an improbable run, which included a six-game win streak and some […]
It was the biggest regular season game in franchise history, and the Seattle Seahawks delivered one of the most impressive defensive statements in franchise history. It was all Seahawks in a 13-3 pummeling that doesn’t accurately show how much Seattle dominated the San Francisco 49ers. After beating big brother number one in the Los Angeles […]

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 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 […]
