San Francisco 49ers News

By Jack Loder When Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson feasted on a turkey dinner at midfield after thumping the 49ers on Thanksgiving night in 2014, it seemed like rock bottom in terms of humiliation for San Francisco. The scene at Levi's Stadium last night made that Turkey dinner look like a preseason game. As much as...

By Jack Loder The difference between the 49ers and the Eagles on Sunday afternoon in Philadelphia was never more evident than on the first play of the fourth quarter. San Francisco was led by an offensive mastermind in Kyle Shanahan, and Philadelphia was not. One team had a coaching staff and a quarterback able to over...

By Jack Loder As Kenneth Walker scampered past a pathetic clump of limp 49ers tacklers on his way to converting a 3rd-and-17 that not even the Seahawks expected had a chance, the 49ers and their fans were hit with the harsh weight of reality. Then, one drive later, when a tipped pass bounced off the lap of Christian Mc...

By Jack Loder In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the 49ers offense probably just scored another touchdown. It's been less than 48 hours since the Niners won a heart stopping Sunday Night Football thriller over Chicago, continuing their improbable quest for the NFC West title and the NFC's No. 1 seed.

On the offensive side of the ball, things were nearly perfect. On defense, an embattled Niners' unit left a whole lot to be desired against one of the NFL's worst s...

By Jack Loder John Lynch hasn't worried about Brock Purdy's formerly nagging turf toe injury since the Niners' quarterback scampered into the end zone in Cleveland. As soon as Purdy triumphantly flicked the football away and broke into his now famous end zone dougie, concerns about the $265 Million big toe have largely...

At long last, the 49ers have reached their bye week. After 13 straight weeks, San Francisco gets to reset with a more than impressive given the circumstances 9-4 record. But the break doesn't come free of drama. The bizarre, annoying, and frankly embarrassing Brandon Aiyuk saga continues to make headlines. Steve Young ...

The 49ers' 20-9 win over the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football was, in many ways, a microcosm of their 2025 season.
