49ers, Brock Purdy, and Ricky Pearsall have a field day in high-scoring win over the Titans

Brock Purdy went 5-for-6 for 50 yards and a touchdown. George Kittle had a 23-yard reception, and Jauan Jennings caught a touchdown on third and […]
49ers-Titans game thread: It’s time to get Ricky Pearsall going
There are no style points in the NFL. Whether the San Francisco 49ers win by 21 or two today, they need to win. Historically speaking, Kyle Shanahan’s teams have performed quite well after the bye week. Today’s spot against the Tennessee Titans sets up well. You have one coming off their second win of the […]

The San Francisco 49ers added defensive tackle Jordan Elliott to the injury report due to a knee injury. He will not play today against the Tennessee Titans.

49ers-Titans predictions: We’re predicting a multi-touchdown win
The San Francisco 49ers began their winning streak after we started making weekly predictions. Coincidence? I think not. Let’s keep the good vibes rolling and discuss what we expect in Week 15 against the Tennessee Titans. Kyle’s prediction – 49ers 31, Titans 17 For the second time since 1970, the NFL’s most sacked quarterback goes […]
Golden Nuggets: GAME DAY
2/3 of the Season Superlatives: Studs, Duds, Scuds and More (paywall)“It’s easy to peg Saleh as the best acquisition, but I’m going to go with Huff, who has been outstanding. I know the production hasn’t been there, but I watch the 49ers’ lines week in and week out, and I’ve watched teams handle Huff at […]
49ers elevate a pair of defenders ahead of their Week 15 matchup against the Titans
It’s been a busy afternoon for the San Francisco 49ers. Christian McCaffrey was added to the injury report, but is expected to play. Meanwhile, we may have seen the last of Brandon Aiyuk in a Niners uniform. As for Sunday’s game against the Tennessee Titans, the 49ers made a couple of moves ahead of that […]
49ers all but guarantee Brandon Aiyuk departure with latest roster move
The 49ers had hoped they could save their relationship with wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, but they now appear to have accepted defeat. San Francisco, per Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area, is placing Aiyuk on the reserve/left squad list. That makes him ineligible to return for the rest of the season, and effectively ensures […]
Christian McCaffrey back on the injury report, questionable for Sunday
It’s been an interesting week for San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey, who has found himself on and off the injury report. McCaffrey took his usual veteran rest day on Wednesday and did not participate. He was a limited participant on Thursday with an illness, but was bumped up to a full participant on […]
A handful of former 49ers will return to Levi’s Stadium in a Titans uniform on Sunday
The NFL can be a cruel league. Players are waived, released, or cut based on a numbers crunch, injuries, or in the search for an upgrade. Sometimes players can spend time on a practice squad waiting for a chance that doesn’t come, and move on to greener pastures or another opportunity. Whatever the reason may […]
Todd Bowles may have entered Mike Singletary territory Thursday night
If you didn’t catch Thursday Night Football, you would have missed quite an interesting ending. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers were leading the Atlanta Falcons and then let it all slip through their fingers. They were up by 14 points in the fourth quarter, then managed to squander it away. Buccaneers head coach Todd Bowles had […]
Richard Sherman (finally) explains the Michael Crabtree “feud”
They always say the sequel is never as good as the original. Take Richard Sherman and his current war of words with Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens. A wide receiver vs a defensive back. It’s interesting, but nothing like Sherman’s feud with 49ers wide receiver Michael Crabtree, which the Pickens spat feels like a […]
Golden Nuggets: One more sleep until the stretch run kicks off
(paywall) 49ers vs. Titans: The Standard’s 5 fast predictions (paywall)“Kawakami: 49ers 30, Titans 13. They’re rested, they’ve got most of their main offensive stars back, they’re facing one of the worst teams in the league — this should fall into 49ers-pick-a-score territory unless there’s a major letdown. I don’t think there’ll be a letdown.“ Eric […]
49ers-Titans final injury report: Christian McCaffrey is a full-go; Yetur Gross-Matos won’t play
The San Francisco 49ers didn’t list Yetur Gross-Matos on Thursday’s injury report, which was a good sign that the defensive lineman, who has been out since Week 15, would return in Week 15. Gross-Matos practiced on Friday and is expected to be activated from the Injured Reserve on Saturday. So we thought. Kyle Shanahan ruled […]
Why the bye week could re-energize the 49ers defense
With four games remaining for the San Francisco 49ers, the bye week was a bit late in the season, but it could be just in time for the stretch run. Given all the adversity and injuries to Nick Bosa and Fred Warner, the 49ers’ defense has allowed just 17 points combined over the last two […]
Klay Kubiak downplays Ricky Pearsall’s lack of production: ‘It’s circumstantial’
Through the first four weeks of the season, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall was 11th in the NFL in receiving yards and first downs, despite having six fewer targets than every receiver listed above him. In most instances, the player had at least ten more targets than Pearsall. It looked as though Pearsall […]
How San Francisco’s revamped coaching staff has raised the team’s floor and ceiling this season
The San Francisco 49ers are sitting at 9-4 with four weeks left in what has been quite the season this year. They’ve dealt with injuries, another wide receiver saga, and still have managed to be in the playoff picture despite playing a number of first and second-year players this season. The team’s coaching staff has […]

Golden Nuggets: We’re on to Tennessee
Robert Saleh, Klay Kubiak, Brock Purdy preview 49ers-Titans Week 15 matchup“I think Friday’s nice just in terms of having just about everything in when it comes to like our game plan. Obviously, we’ll have first, second down, third down, red zone, everything. And so, Friday being able to compartmentalize everything and go over everything mentally […]
Falcons versus Buccaneers game thread: Baker Mayfield looks to get out of a rut
The 7-6 Tampa Bay Buccaneers are in an essential must-win situation against the 4-9 Atlanta Falcons. Technically, the Bucs can still lose and win the division, but the margin for error would be next to nothing. Baker Mayfield hasn’t thrown for more than 200 yards since Week 10. He’s completed under 40 percent of his […]
Christian McCaffrey pops up on the injury report with an illness
The San Francisco 49ers’ injury report had a couple of changes on Thursday. First and foremost, Christian McCaffrey was listed as limited because of an illness. The media gets to see roughly 10 to 20 minutes of practice. It’s mostly stretching and the individual drills portion. According to the reporters on hand, McCaffrey was on […]
John Lynch ‘not putting anything past’ Fred Warner in comeback attempt
When Fred Warner went down way back in Week 6 with a dislocated and broken ankle, it appeared his season was definitively over. The likelihood still remains that Warner has played his last snaps this season, but the lengths to which the 49ers’ All-Pro linebacker is going in his recovery have fueled talk of a […]
