49ers News: John Lynch better be working those phones
Let’s keep firing up these trade rumors. I’m getting greedy. This is exactly what I wanted to see before the season: Brock Purdy and the offense showing so much juice that it pretty much forces John Lynch’s hand, in the most positive way possible. You GOTTA give these guys a legit pass rush that can […]
Who has been the unsung hero this season for the 49ers?
Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in 49ers fans and fans across the country. Who has been the unsung hero? The 49ers have become all too familiar with unsung heroes under Kyle Shanahan. Injuries have led to depth players being […]
49ers bring back local product to the practice squad
The San Francisco 49ers brought back Viliami Fehoko Jr. to the practice squad. The pass rusher was promoted to the team’s active roster on September 26, appearing in one game before being waived on October 3. To his credit, Fehoko played well in limited action against the Cardinals. Obviously, he did enough to warrant returning […]
Kyle Shanahan ‘real excited’ with Malik Mustapha ahead of Week 5 start
The 49ers will be forced to make a change to their starting secondary for their huge Week 5 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. After Marques Sigle suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday’s 24-14 win over the Denver Broncos, the 49ers will have a different starting safety duo in Seattle, though thankfully the replacement is a […]
49ers LB Dre Greenlaw fined for taunting and cussing at the Broncos sideline
Dre Greenlaw’s emotions were running high in the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 4 win over the Denver Broncos. If Greenlaw had a chance to let Denver’s sideline know, he took it. Whether he was pointing, gesturing, or smack-talking, Greenlaw went out of his way to make it a point to Broncos head coach Sean Payton […]
Kyle Shanahan, Brock Purdy explain those bizarre fourth-and-1 calls against the Broncos
We’ve always had a few plays after a 2026 San Francisco 49ers game where we asked: “What the hell was that?” In their 24-14 victory over the Denver Broncos, a couple errr, “apparent” moments were on fourth down. The first fourth down was in the first half on fourth-and-1. A very long “1,” mind you. […]
Week 5 NFL Power Rankings: Where do the 49ers rank among undefeated teams?
The San Francisco 49ers are only one of three NFL teams that have started the season 4-0 in 2026, joining the Kansas City Chiefs and the Minnesota Vikings. Thus far, their +58 point differential leads the NFL, and they also have two big wins on their resume: the Los Angeles Rams and the Denver Broncos. […]
5 final observations from the 49ers win over the Broncos
The San Francisco 49ers used a fourth-quarter touchdown from George Kittle to beat the Denver Broncos 24-14 on Sunday night, getting past another marquee opponent as they climbed to 4-0. This game was a different type of win for the 49ers, as the offense didn’t hum at its usual level, while the defense mitigated the […]
Why 1 unit has surprised in big way through 4 weeks
The San Francisco 49ers have been on a roll to start the season, going 4-0 with wins over the Los Angeles Rams, Miami Dolphins, Arizona Cardinals, and Denver Broncos. After an elite offense carried the way through the first three weeks, it was San Francisco’s defense that looked great on Sunday, holding Denver’s offense to […]
49ers News: We’re on to Seattle
I was watching some of the Seattle-Washington game today, trying to get a sense of how the Commanders managed to beat the defending champs. One factor was Sonny Styles. He dominated from the linebacker position, making game-changing plays in pass coverage. You could tell he played high-level basketball, this wasn’t just “good coverage for a […]
Monday Night Football live discussion: Falcons at Saints
The San Francisco 49ers take on the Atlanta Falcons in a couple of weeks. Michael Penix and the Dirty Birds face Tyler Shough and the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football to close out Week 4. Atlanta looked like a completely different team with Michael Penix under center. Bijan Robinson is electric; that hasn’t […]
49ers injury updates: Marques Sigle has the dreaded high ankle sprain
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan provided injury updates on Monday afternoon. He confirmed Kyle Juszczyk has a hyperextended knee. Juice is expected to miss 2-3 weeks. Shanahan said Luke Farrell and Brayden Willis will take over Juszczyk’s role. “They’re all pretty interchangeable, but it’ll definitely get Brayden some more ops.” Safety Marques Sigle […]
49ers grades: Raheem Morris colt-pletely shuts down Bo Nix and the Broncos
The San Francisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos by double digits at home. After a slow start, the offense finished the game with three consecutive touchdown drives. But the defense kept the Broncos in their stall all game. They responded well after a shaky fourth quarter in Week 3. Here are my positional grades for […]
Dre Greenlaw and Deebo Samuel used same motivation to help 49ers past Broncos
The 49ers knew what to expect from their Week 4 matchup with the Denver Broncos, and it played out exactly as they anticipated. San Francisco’s 24-14 win over Denver was a rock fight. An ultra-physical battle of wills in which the 49er offense had to be very patient in grinding down the Broncos’ vaunted defense, […]
49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a bone bruise
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the San Francisco 49ers will be without Kyle Juszczyk for a ‘couple of weeks’ due to a hyperextended knee. Those were the initial tests. Juszczyk will undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm whether those initial tests were accurate. Juszczyk has played a pivotal role for the 49ers this season. […]
3 stars from the 49ers win over the Broncos: Siran Neal saves the day
It wasn’t the most convincing of wins, but it was a win nonetheless, as the San Francisco 49ers withstood the Denver Broncos and the heat, moving to 4-0 on the season with a 24-14 victory. A slow first half for both sides ended with a blocked Eddy Pineiro field goal, which added to the slow […]
NFC West Recap: 49ers remain in first place, Rams and Seahawks win
4-0. That’s all. The San Francisco 49ers are 4-0 and look like a 4-0 team. The Denver Broncos were the first big test for the 2026 offense, and they passed with flying colors. Yes, there were injured defensive backs with the Broncos, but the 49ers don’t have their starting wide receivers 100 percent healthy either. […]
49ers prove age is just a number with unique piece of NFL history
In recent years, 49ers GM John Lynch has spoken regularly about San Francisco’s roster needing to get younger, and the front office has made plenty of moves with that goal in mind. But four weeks into the 2026 season it is the still plentiful old heads on the San Francisco offense that have powered the […]
49ers News: A very sweaty Victory Monday
What absolute freaking warriors. They showed so much grit and resilience today that I feel like my expectations are immediately raised for the rest of the season. It was good to see what it looks like when the 49ers offense faces a serious defense. It won’t always be fireworks and big runs. But when the […]
8 Winners, 3 losers, and 1 IDK from the 49ers win over the Broncos
It was the kind of win that proves your mettle as a San Francisco 49ers player. This is what an NFL game looks like. You can’t expect everything to go your way. You’re not going to score on every drive against a playoff-caliber team. It took the offense a half to heat up, but once […]
3 quick takeaways from 49ers win over Broncos: Timely plays put Niners on top for 2nd straight week
The San Francisco 49ers beat the Denver Broncos 24-14 to start the season 4-0 on Sunday and cap off a three-game home stretch with another quality win. Over the first three weeks, the 49ers offense dominated, but it took a while to get things going on Sunday, as San Francisco had just 10 points through […]
49ers injury updates: Kyle Juszczyk ‘probably’ has a knee sprain
Here are the San Francisco 49ers injury updates after their Week 4 win against the Denver Broncos: S Marques Sigle (ankle)FB Kyle Juszczyk (knee)CB Upton Stout (shoulder) Sigle returned to the game, but left again after suffering an injury on a kickoff. Kyle Shanahan said, “We don’t know for sure,” about Juszczyk’s injury. “They’re thinking […]
George Kittle and the 49ers outrun the Broncos to stay undefeated
The San Francisco 49ers defense began the game with a three-and-out. Cornerback Renardo Green was involved in two of the three plays. The Denver Broncos wanted a pass-interference call, but the ref saw it differently. After a 57-yard punt pinned the offense at their six-yard line, the Niners picked up a couple of first downs […]
49ers-Broncos game thread: Points, points, and more points at Levi’s Stadium
In my experience, hot weather usually means more scoring, whether it’s football or baseball. In this case, both defenses are coming off performances in which they faced more than 80 plays each. Tired legs might carry over into Week 4. We know the San Francisco 49ers don’t struggle to score. They’ve spoiled fans to the […]
49ers get Romello Height back; Mike Evans will play today
San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans was listed as questionable heading into Week 4 with a rib injury. Kyle Shanahan said his star wideout would be a game-time decision. Evans told the media on Friday, “It’s my job”: I take pride in trying to suit up every chance I get. If the injury isn’t […]
