After a disappointing Week 8 loss in Houston, the San Francisco 49ers bounced back and closed the quick two-game road trip with an impressive 34-24 win over the New York Giants.

The potential Miami Dolphins fire sale began on Monday morning. Jaelan Phillips reunited with former defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. The Eagles acquired Phillips from Miami for a third-round pick.

The pool of edge rush options for the 49ers at the trade deadline has decreased slightly. After landing Keion White last week, it is widely expected the 49ers will strike another trade on the defensive line, a possibility increased by the injury suffered to Mykel Williams in Sunday’s win over the New York Giants. Yet […]

49ers’ win has George Kittle dancing, but will ongoing injuries end the music? (paywall)“Yes, it came against the NFL’s 30th-ranked run defense. But it was reminiscent of Shanahan’s vaunted ground game that ranked fourth in the league in rushing from 2017-24. Kittle termed the drive “sick.” Shanahan said he considered calling a play-action pass in […]

The NFC West is the best division in the NFL and that was even more apparent in Week 9 as the Rams, 49ers, and Seahawks won their games by a combined score of 109-48. The 49ers were the “worst” NFC West team of the day and that’s even with Mac Jones at quarterback and going […]

The San Francisco 49ers gave up an opening drive touchdown, and the immediate thought was, “Here we go again.” The New York Giants marched 64 yards in ten plays that took just over four minutes off the clock to take an early 7-0 lead.

Injuries on both sides may have robbed us of what could have been a heck of a game between the San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants. Recency bias would lead you to believe Jaxson Dart is about to have a field day against a defense that just gave up a handful of explosive plays […]

I was up late last night (a.k.a. early this morning) looking for a World Series comp that my football-loving audience here at BN Bears would understand. Before nodding off to dreamland, I landed on the idea of the Blue Jays losing Games 6 and 7 (and, ultimately, the World Series) was the baseball version of the 49ers last two Super Bowl losses. Both teams had leads and command of the game against juggernaut favorites, only to not cash in on opportunities before the big baddies came through wit...
