San Francisco dominates the first half, scoring three touchdowns—including a 69‑yard drive and a pass to Christian McCaffrey—while rushing for 94 yards. Kirk Cousins sparks a Raiders response with a one‑yard TD run, but a late pick‑six on the third‑quarter opener pushes the deficit to 28‑10. Dylan Laube’s 54‑yard kick return sets up a Matt Gay field goal, but the Raiders can’t close the gap. The game remains in the 49ers’ control as the second half begins.

Sportsnaut’s Week 10 NFL power rankings highlight a surprisingly tight race after Week 9. The Chicago Bears leap to the top, propelled by MVP‑caliber quarterback Caleb Williams and a pressure‑rich defense, while the Buffalo Bills sit second despite a porous secondary. The San Francisco 49ers remain the only team that could challenge Chicago, thanks to a revived offense and a strengthened D‑line featuring Nick Bosa and DeForest Buckner. Denver, Jacksonville, and other contenders round out the top five, with the Jaguars riding a 58‑point differential after dominant wins over Indianapolis and Baltimore. The rankings set the stage for Sunday Night and Monday Night matchups.
The 49ers dominate the Raiders with a 28-17 victory, forcing four straight turnovers and capitalizing on red‑zone efficiency. Brock Purdy throws two TD passes and rushes for one, while Christian McCaffrey adds a rushing TD and 70 total yards. San Francisco builds a 21-7 lead in the first half, outgaining Las Vegas 240‑75 yards, and extends the margin after a pick‑six by Fred Warner and a forced fumble by the defensive line. Kirk Cousins’ fumble and subsequent pick‑six swing momentum, and the Niners finish as one of only two teams with multiple defensive scores. The win highlights a disciplined offense, a stingy defense, and key plays from George Kittle, Brandin Cooks, and Bosa.
Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey and the San Francisco 49ers handled the Las Vegas Raiders with ease on Sunday.
The 49ers are actively hunting a receiver before the Nov. 8 deadline, with FOX’s Jay Glazer and SI’s Albert Breer linking them to Colts WR Josh Downs and also eyeing a pass‑catching tight end, per Adam Schefter. Meanwhile, the Cardinals’ OLB Josh Sweat draws trade interest despite salary hurdles, while OLB Baron Browning emerges as a more feasible mover and CB Garrett Williams may be on the chopping block, according to The Athletic’s Jonathan Jones. The Rams, however, are expected to stay idle, as Jones notes any significant trade would be surprising.
Defensive tackle DeForest Buckler makes a dramatic return to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night after the Colts trade him for a 2027 fourth‑round pick. The former seventh‑overall pick (2016) re‑enters the Niners' lineup against the Las Vegas Raiders at Levi’s Stadium, with a memorable pre‑game introduction. Buckner, who logged 4 sacks, 31 tackles and a fumble recovery in seven games for Indianapolis, expressed displeasure with the Colts’ direction before the deal. San Francisco now hopes his familiarity will boost a playoff‑bound defense.
The Oklahoma City Thunder waived former 2022 first‑round pick Dalen Terry just days after signing him, after trading for wing Niq Clifford from the Sacramento Kings. Terry, a 6‑ft‑6, 24‑year‑old 3‑and‑D prospect, appeared in two games for OKC, posting 2 points, 6 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 steal in 11 minutes. His non‑guaranteed contract means he’ll receive only a pro‑rated portion of the league minimum and will likely clear waivers, opening a possible return to the Santa Cruz Warriors, the G‑League affiliate of the Golden State Warriors. Terry was drafted 18th overall by Chicago, spent four seasons with the Bulls, then moved to Philadelphia before joining the Warriors' summer roster.
49ers RB Christian McCaffrey made NFL history with his 37th career receiving TD, passing Marshall Faulk for the most by a running back in the Super Bowl era.

Ahead of the NFL trade deadline, the Houston Texans' veteran defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is drawing interest from several clubs. Three‑time Pro Bowler Clowney, who re‑signed on a one‑year deal in the 2026 offseason, has recorded 1.5 sacks in five games (no starts) and remains a valuable rotational edge rusher. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport confirms that teams, including the 49ers, have inquired about his availability, though Houston may keep him as it seeks to improve its roster after a modest October resurgence.
After a bye, the San Francisco 49ers host a surprisingly effective Las Vegas Raiders who rank fifth in passing EPA, led by unguardable talent Brock Bowers. The Raiders, though one‑dimensional and struggling in the red zone (scoring TDs on just 53% of trips), rely on rookie Mike Washington’s limited rushing impact. 49ers defensive stars Nick Bosa and DeForest Buckner aim to choke the Raiders’ attack, while George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey and Kaelon Black are poised for big gains on offense. With the 49ers converting 86% of red‑zone chances, the matchup hinges on who dominates the short field.
