Latest blog entries from Bay Area teams across every league
Well, that didn’t go well at all. The San Francisco 49ers were dominated on both sides of the ball and sustained even more injuries across their defensive line. There was a point on Sunday afternoon where the 49ers were down one possession. The Texans won by 11 points, but the game within the game belonged […]
The San Francisco 49ers lost 26-15 in a maddening game against the Houston Texans. Turns out, not having Bryce Huff on a defense already running on fumes might make said defense worse. But it wasn’t all terrible. The defense did secure one significant milestone, specifically a turnover. But not just any turnover, an interception. The […]
The last time the San Francisco 49ers faced the Los Angeles Rams, Mac Jones threw for 342 yards, and Kendrick Bourne had a field day. Jones completed 75 percent of his passes against a leaky Rams secondary that provided little resistance. Los Angeles had a bye week in Week 8, the week allowing the second-most […]
On Friday, we began the latest iteration of McCovey Chronicles’ most time-honored tradition: the Willie McCovey Memorial Community Prospect List, in which we will work as a community to rank the top 44 prospects in the San Francisco Giants organization. In the introductory post, everyone selected a group of nominees to choose from, and today […]
The San Francisco 49ers continue to see-saw back and forth in the win and loss column. Week 8’s loss to the Houston Texans wasn’t all that shocking, given the quality of the opponent and the road team’s injuries. All is not lost for the 5-3 Niners. If you’re going to drop a game, let it […]
The rest of the NFC West was on bye, and no one had to lift a finger to put the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams into first place. All the 49ers had to do was lose to the Houston Texans 26-15. I know some will comment how the Seahawks manhandled the Texans last week, […]
It’s hard to say if the San Jose Sharks as a team have figured out how to win close games, but there’s one player on the Sharks who has definitely figured it out – Macklin Celebrini. It’s because of Celebrini that the Sharks beat the Minnesota Wild 6-5 in overtime last night and finished the four-game road trip with a .500 record. The 19-year-old forward put together another multi-point game, saving his most important point for the very end of the night. Celebrini sprinted onto the ice af...
The Los Angeles Rams are tied for the best record in the NFC West with the Seattle Seahawks at 5-2, but they’re temporarily in a wild card spot as they approach midseason because L.A. has yet to win a conference game. However, if the Rams had tied the San Francisco 49ers two weeks ago, then […]
Good morning A’s fans and happy Monday! The 2025 World Series continues tonight after an off day yesterday for travel. The series is now tied 1-1 after the Los Angels Dodgers took Game 2 in Toronto. The underdog Blue Jays needed both of those first two home games and now will be tasked with winning […]
Last week, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Atlanta Falcons in their most impressive game of the season. Just a week later, the 49ers suffered their least impressive loss to the Houston Texans, dropping to 5-3 on the season in the 26-15 defeat in Week 8. The 49ers couldn’t overcome a lackluster first half, in […]
The Philadelphia Flyers are looking for a top-four defenseman, and David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period reports general manager Danny Briere has the flexibility to act. After reinforcing the forward group, the front office is now surveying the market for a blue liner in his mid 20s who fits the core and can handle matchup minutes right away. With cap room available, Philadelphia is in a good spot to chase a multi-asset deal if the right name shakes free. The Fourth Period: The San Jose Sh...
It’s another week and another surprising result in a rollercoaster season for the Houston Texans. Your Texans defeated the San Francisco 49ers 26-15, but the performance was more dominating than that on both ends of the game. The numbers will likely tell us as much, but we look anyway for the cumulative effect. The more […]

Three of the four NFC West Division teams had a bye this weekend: Arizona Cardinals, Los Angeles Rams, and Seattle Seahawks. The Rams, Seahawks, and San Francisco 49ers were in a three-way tie with identical 5-2-0 records going into Week 8. The Cardinals brought up the rear with a 2-5-0 record.

Kawakami: There are no magic fixes left for the 49ers and they know it (paywall)“The next time they’ll be true Super Bowl contenders will probably be in 2026 with Nos. 54 and 97 back in uniform and Purdy fully healthy, and that’s only if this team can avoid a third consecutive season of injury mayhem. […]
The San Francisco 49ers entered Week 8 as the top team in the NFC West, but their loss to the Houston Texans dropped them into wild card position and barely hanging on to that. It wasn’t that long ago that San Francisco was the top team in the NFC. The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles […]
Without even setting foot on the field in Week 8, the Seattle Seahawks have moved into first place in the NFC West. As the end of October quickly approached, a three-team logjam formed atop the NFC West. The Seahawks, San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams all entered Week 8 at 5-2, though the Niners […]
The San Francisco 49ers dropped their third game of the season on Sunday, falling short 26-15 on the road to the Houston Texans in a rough game on both sides of the ball. It was a really slow start for the 49ers, who trailed 16-0 to open the game before attempting a comeback. They got […]
The Texans, hot off an extremely disappointing loss to the Seattle Seahawks, come back to Houston to host the San Francisco 49ers in another tilt against a difficult NFC West opponent that could decide the Texans season. This is the first home game for the Texans since their victory over the Titans, and they’re desperate […]
The San Jose Sharks have a chance to salvage some semblance of success on this road trip with a win this afternoon in Minnesota. After finding their game in New York, doing a bit of team bonding and getting the first win of the season, the Sharks wrap up the four game road trip with a visit to the Minnesota Wild. A win would finish the road trip with a .500 record and set the Sharks on a better path as the team returns home for a spell. The Wild are also flailing to start the season with ...
The Houston Texans ran the most plays (16) and took the most time off the clock (9:39) on their opening drive against the San Francisco 49ers. Houston became the first team to score on its opening drive against the 49ers this season. After all of those plays, the Texans only managed a field goal to […]
It’s Sunday, and you know what that means — it’s time for our weekly social media roundup! With the baseball season in the rearview mirror, New York sports fans turn towards football, and with the Giants and Jets being, well, the Giants and Jets, they immediately turn their eyes to the Knicks and Rangers at Madison […]
In absolutely terrible news, the Falcons announced on Sunday with the release of the inactive players list that LB Divine Deablo has been placed on injured reserve with the forearm injury he suffered in Atlanta’s Week 7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. That loss was frustrating, but for me, the most upsetting part was […]
The San Francisco 49ers will look to begin their second winning streak of the season. After winning the first three games of the season, San Francisco has rotated wins and losses since Week 4. Coincidentally, that was also the last time we saw Brock Purdy. If recent history tells us anything, this might be a […]
It’s nearly time. Kirk Cousins is under center, the Atlanta Falcons are seeking their fourth win at home, and the shaky Miami Dolphins are coming to town. The Falcons need to rebound from that ugly 49ers loss with some urgency, because as hapless as the Dolphins are, the Falcons have yet to beat the rap […]
