Laken Tomlinson was waived; should the 49ers put in a claim after Ben Bartch’s recent injury?
The Houston Texans waived veteran offensive lineman Laken Tomlinson, who will now go on waivers. Tomlinson would have to make it to the San Francisco 49ers, which is very well possible. It’s always fascinating to see how a team that watched Tomlinson play the year prior talks about him compared to the team that might […]
2 49ers bounceback performances: Dee Winters had himself a day against the Browns
The San Francisco 49ers won in all three phases against the Cleveland Browns. Down the stretch, the 49ers imposed their will and only allowed eight points on defense. Yes, the Browns offense isn’t a juggernaut, but the physicality on defense was on display. Offensively, the 49ers put up 26 points on the second-ranked defense in […]
Week 13 Grades: Perfect timing for the 49ers to play complementary football on the road
The streak is over. The San Francisco 49ers won their first game in Cleveland since November 11, 1984. Kyle Shanahan and his offense defeated Jim Schwartz’s defense. Brock Purdy played well in a cold-weather game. The narratives fell one by one with a 26-8 victory over Shedeur Sanders and the Browns. Now, the 49ers enter […]
The best-case scenario for the 49ers may involve both Eric Kendricks and Tatum Bethune
What will the San Francisco 49ers get in Eric Kendricks? For head coach Kyle Shanahan, it’s too early to tell: “Yeah, I definitely think he has a chance to, that’s why we liked him coming here. But you know, last week we had three days, and it was a short week, and we didn’t do […]
The 49ers aren’t asking Jauan Jennings to change anytime soon: ‘I love how Jauan plays’
During Sunday’s postgame, Cleveland Browns defensive tackle Shelby Harris lashed out at San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Jauan Jennings, who apparently crossed the line of trash-talking. Harris wasn’t the only Browns defender to speak up. Myles Garrett took the podium on the subject. Here’s what he had to say: I can’t speak for how he […]
John Lynch isn’t sure if it’s realistic that we see Brandon Aiyuk play for the 49ers in 2025
San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch was asked whether he had a realistic belief that Brandon Aiyuk would play for the team this season: Realistic? I’m not sure. Hopeful? Yeah. That’s kind of where I’ll leave that. He continues to rehab. Hopefully, like I’ve always said, we’re a better football team when Brandon’s out […]
Kyle Shanahan shares one of the ‘harder decisions’ he’s had to make as a coach in a while against the Browns
For the first time in forever, the San Francisco 49ers won the coin toss in Week 13 against the Cleveland Browns. Generally, the Niners defer to the second half. Not this time. Head coach Kyle Shanahan shared why he elected to receive the opening kickoff: “Just because of the wind factor. I wanted a chance […]
How Brant Boyer has turned the 49ers special teams around, leading them to being #1 in this key metric
When the San Francisco 49ers went from Richard Hightower as a special teams coordinator to Brian Schneider, it was like the saying, “Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.” Outside of Robbie Gould’s excellence, the coverage units were shaky at best, the return game was non-existent, and the special teams units were a […]

The San Francisco 49ers planned to continue their rotation at left guard on Sunday, but Ben Bartch ended up leaving with a foot injury. He lasted 21 snaps. According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, Bartch suffered a foot sprain that will require surgery and land Bartch on the Injured Reserve. Bartch might have a Lisfranc […]
Do the 49ers have what it takes to make a playoff run?
The San Francisco 49ers got another crucial win on Sunday, beating the Cleveland Browns 26-8 to improve to 9-4 and remain right in the mix of the packed NFC West. A couple of weeks ago, the 49ers were standing at 6-4 and 1.5 games back of both the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks after […]
George Kittle raves about rookie defender once again
The San Francisco 49ers pulled off a 26-8 victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, improving to 9-4 and getting within a half-game of the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC West. It was a quality win for the 49ers, who faced a feisty Browns defense led by star pass rusher Myles Garrett. As a […]

The sign of a good team is making bad teams look bad.

Skyy Moore makes 49ers’ 2026 plans much trickier
It’s funny how perceptions flip. In the early weeks of the 2025 season, we were lamenting 49ers returner Skyy Moore’s head-scratching decisions to field punts deep in the 49ers’ territory. The only head-scratcher now is how bright Moore’s future is. Moore has been one of the key players in making the 49ers’ special teams one […]
Skyy Moore emerging as crucial weapon for 49ers amid special teams resurgence
It would be fair to say that the 49ers’ decision to acquire wide receiver and return man Skyy Moore from the Kansas City Chiefs in the offseason was not one met with fanfare. Derision and raised eyebrows were the primary responses at the time, even with San Francisco light on receiver depth. Moore’s impact as […]

A 41-year streak came to an end on Sunday, with the San Francisco 49ers picking up their first victory in Cleveland since 1984 with a 26-8 win over the Browns. Things were a little hairy in the first half, falling behind 8-7 right before halftime, before Brock Purdy led a field goal-scoring drive, giving San […]
NFC West Standings: Rams, 49ers, Seahawks tied at first, Cardinals eliminated
I said last week the 49ers may have to run the table to win this divisional thing, but they’d still need some help. Well, the 49ers did their part, beating the Cleveland Browns 26-8 and improved to 9-4 on the season. They also got some BIG help on Sunday with the Los Angeles Rams falling […]
Golden Nuggets: Let it be known… it’s Victory Monday
49ers’ Brock Purdy gets high marks vs. Browns, including for throws he didn’t attempt (paywall)“There were also no near-interceptions for Purdy.

NFC Playoff Picture: 49ers climb the standings and inch closer to an improbable postseason bye
Parity is why we watch the NFL every Sunday. Whatever you think is going to happen never does.

Let’s take […]
Browns defender lashes out at Jauan Jennings: ‘He says some things that you should not say to another man’
Tensions are always high during NFL games. Whenever the San Francisco 49ers get into a skirmish, Jauan Jennings is usually in the center. After former Niner Maliek Collins went down with an injury, there were reportedly words exchanged between Jennings and Cleveland’s defenders. One player, defensive tackle Shelby Harris, took whatever Jennings said personally: He’s […]

49ers capitalize on the Browns mistakes in a dominant showing for their third win in a row
The San Francisco 49ers couldn’t have asked for a better start. Kyle Juszczyk caught a 23-yard pass on the first play from scrimmage. However, the offense only gained 1 yard on the drive after that and was forced to punt. The Browns picked up a first down, too. But Shedeur Sanders’ errant pass to Jerry […]
