As the San Francisco 49ers fell back to Earth by losing three straight games, the NFL world quickly turned on quarterback Brock Purdy. After declaring him the MVP through five weeks, many switched and called the second-year pro “overrated” and a “phony,” who was reliant on his team and scheme for success. Surely, Purdy deserved […]

The San Francisco 49ers return from their bye week ready to rebound from their three-game losing streak against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but the question is will left tackle Trent Williams come back to the field with the team? Williams is still dealing with an ankle injury that he sustained in the 49ers’ loss to the […]

The defensive schemes employed by the San Francisco 49ers have allowed them to thrive. Through the coaching staff led by Kyle Shanahan, the team has only endured two losses and both of them are because of top offenses in the league. This really puts players like Nick Bosa and Fred Warner a cut above the […]

The San Francisco 49ers are set to take on the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road this weekend at TIAA Bank Field in Florida. The Jaguars are led by QB Trevor Lawrence and Coach Doug Pederson, in position to make a deep playoff run. Meanwhile, the 49ers are gearing up for another potential Super Bowl run, […]

The San Francisco 49ers were the best team in the NFL well into October, but they don’t hand out the Vince Lombardi Trophy in the second month of the season. After a brilliant start that saw the Niners win their first 5 games, they have lost their last 3 games and then had their bye […]

The San Francisco 49ers are set to return from their bye week on a three-game losing streak to go across the country to play the Jacksonville Jaguars on the road, and 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan spoke about how Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence threatens their defense. “I think Trevor is one of the more talented quarterbacks […]

New San Francisco 49ers addition Chase Young threw a little shade at his former team this week. Young was traded from the Washington Commanders to the 49ers right before the trade deadline. Within ten days of joining his new days, Young noted the difference in his new team. “Just stepping in here today, got in […]

The San Francisco 49ers are making a huge coaching change in Week 10 by bringing defensive coordinator Steve Wilks down to the field. The move is supposed to bring energy to the 49ers defense and help make adjustments closer to the players and in-game action. 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan explained his reasoning for the move. “I […]

Week 9 of the 2023 NFL season featured a few defenses popping off against bad quarterbacks, but will Week 10 be more of the same? Which fantasy football can make the most out of some tasty matchups in Week 10? Will the Dallas Cowboys defense score more points on their own than the Giants will […]

The San Francisco 49ers desperately needed a bye after they lost three straight games despite starting the season on a five-game winning streak. They spent the first five weeks playing nearly perfectly as they put up at least 30 points per game, stuffed opponents on defense and ran all over the field behind Christian McCaffrey. […]

The San Francisco 49ers made a big move at the trade deadline to bring in Chase Young from the Washington Commanders to bolster the team’s pass rush and slot him on the opposite side of Nick Bosa, and while Young is happy to join a winning team, he made it clear that he is not […]

The San Francisco 49ers started off the 2023 season with guns blazing. They fell behind the upstart Seattle Seahawks and then caught them on Sunday without even playing as Pete Carroll’s team lost to the Baltimore Ravens. The team’s defensive end Arik Armstread shared a game check photo that fans could not believe. The 49ers’ […]

San Francisco 49ers defensive end Chase Young is harboring no hard feelings toward the Washington Commanders, who sent him to the Niners ahead of the 2023 NFL trade deadline in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. “I wasn’t mad,” Chase Young said of the trade that sent him to Santa Clara […]

NFL players make a lot of money. Like, a lot a lot. Most of us already knew that. However, sometimes we don’t realize the magnitude of the difference… until we see it for our own eyes. That is exactly what happened when San Francisco 49ers defensive end Arik Armstead shared an image of one of […]

Apparently, the Carolina Panthers received plenty of trade interests for star pass rusher Brian Burns ahead of the 2023 NFL Trade Deadline. However, they rejected all the attempts–including the ones made by the San Francisco 49ers and Baltimore Ravens–and stood firm in their desire to keep 25-year-old. At least five teams showed interest in trading […]

Brock Purdy and the San Francisco 49ers are currently encountering an unexpected rough patch in the middle of their 2023 season. Although the 49ers exploded out of the gates this year, winning their first five games in relatively convincing fashion, Purdy and his teammates have crashed back down to earth in the form of a […]

Recently, it was announced that the San Francisco 49ers had traded for star defensive end Chase Young of the Washington Commanders. Although the 49ers have faltered as of late, losing three straight after winning their first five games out of the gates, the hope is that Young will provide another dimension to a San Francisco […]

Although the San Francisco 49ers swung and missed on Trey Lance, the front office has been wildly accurate, for the most part. For that reason, the franchise opted to give General Manager John Lynch a new contract extension back in September. However, along with his extension, the 49ers are also giving Lynch an impressive new […]

The San Francisco 49ers secondary has been continuing to stay dominant throughout the season. Kyle Shanahan takes advantage of the talented players that he has in Fred Warner and Nick Bosa. Other individuals have also stepped up such that they turn the opposing quarterback’s life into hell inside the pocket. The team may have lost […]

Simply put, the San Francisco 49ers don’t look like the Super Bowl contenders they once were this season. The Niners were a dominant force to start the year, but have since ridden a three-game losing streak. Part of their decline has come from injuries to starters. One of those key players on the sideline has […]

The NFL trade deadline saw a lot of movement on defensive lines everywhere, as Leonard Williams joined Seattle, Montez Sweat went to Chicago, and in perhaps the biggest deal of them all, Chase Young went to the 49ers. With all the trades settled and teams locked in for the rest of the season, let’s take […]

As the NFL trade deadline came to a close on Tuesday, some last-minute reports filtered in regarding players who stayed put with their teams after the expectation they’d be traded. According to one source, an unexpected trade involving cornerback Adoree Jackson going to the San Francisco 49ers from the New York Giants was nixed because […]

Chase Young and Nick Bosa probably thought they would never play together again. After both entering the NFL as No. 2 overall picks after being teammates for Ohio State football, the chances of that happening seemed slim. But in a last-minute deal at the trade deadline, the 49ers swung for the fences and acquired Young […]

The Brock Purdy discourse has gone too far! Perhaps the most talked about quarterback in the NFL, (which is saying something because Dak Prescott is still playing), Purdy continues to either get anointed or dragged every week depending on his play. One week he’s an MVP candidate, the next he should benched for Sam Darnold. […]

The San Francisco 49ers traded for defensive end Chase Young on the day of the NFL trade deadline. However, it seems Young has some excess baggage from his days with the Washington Commanders. Commanders coaches thought Chase Young had some bad habits on the gridiron, per the San Francisco Chronicle’s Michael Silver. "Young, according to […]

There have been plenty of powerhouse NFL teams taking surprising falls lately, and Week 8 was no different.

Standout performances from […]

As rumors swirl and general managers work the phones, the 2023 NFL trade deadline, set for Tuesday at 4 p.m. Eastern, inches closer.

After starting out the season seemingly perfect, rolling to five straight wins and becoming the obvious Super Bowl favorites, the San Francisco 49ers have dropped three straight games to the Cleveland Browns, Minnesota Vikings and Cincinnati Bengals. In the 31-17 loss to the Bengals, the 49ers lost their first two possession game in over a […]

The San Francisco 49ers have made their biggest splash play of the season with the acquisition of defensive end Chase Young. Head coach Kyle Shanahan and the Niners entered the season as one of the top Super Bowl favorites, behind the Philadelphia Eagles and Kansas City Chiefs. The Eagles and Chiefs sit at +500, while […]

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch just pulled off another stunning midseason trade by acquiring Washington Commanders defensive end Chase Young in exchange for a third-round pick, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The trade will now strike fear into offensive lines facing the 49ers as Young reunites with former Ohio State teammate Nick Bosa. […]

Another trade deadline, another major splash for the San Francisco 49ers. After acquiring Christian McCaffrey last year, the Niners made sure to improve their roster once again at the deadline, acquiring star pass-rusher Chase Young from the Washington Commanders. Kyle Shanahan now has one of the most electric duos in Nick Bosa and Young who […]

The Washington Commanders traded star defensive end Chase Young to the San Francisco 49ers before the NFL trade deadline on Tuesday.

Commanders called out for Chase Young trade return […]

By Week 4 of the NFL season, most had written off Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals. It was a typical overreaction, no different from any other across sports. But what else was to be expected after a 1-3 start? It had been a tumultuous start to the season for Cincinnati’s star quarterback and the […]

Former Ohio State football stars Nick Bosa and Joe Burrow shared a nice moment together on the Levi’s Stadium field in Week 8. Bosa hilariously told Burrow the Cincinnati Bengals ruined the San Francisco 49ers’ bye week after their 31-17 loss on Sunday. Friendship always prevails. 😂 (via @NFLFilms)@nbsmallerbear | @JoeyB #InsideTheNFL Tuesdays 8/7c on […]

The San Francisco 49ers enter their Week 9 bye on a three-game losing streak with the NFL trade deadline looming on Tuesday. One would think that the trade deadline would present San Francisco with the perfect opportunity to make a deal or two and jump-start their struggling squad during the bye week. Niners head coach […]

On Sunday afternoon, the San Francisco 49ers suffered a shocking third straight loss, this time at home against the Cincinnati Bengals.

After the game, 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy spoke on […]

On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers dropped their third straight game with a home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. After beginning the season 5-0, San Francisco now suddenly finds itself with more questions than answers through eight games, as this game was controlled by Cincinnati essentially since the opening kick off.
