This achievement was solidified with a 28-16 victory over the Seattle Seahawks and the Green Bay Packers' loss to the New York Giants. Sitting at 10-3, the 49ers currently lead the NFC playoff picture, holding tiebreakers over the Philadelphia Eagles and the Dallas Cowboys. Coach Kyle Shanahan remains focused on the upcoming challenges, emphasizing the team's priority to win the NFC West division. With the possibility of securing the division crown and no worse than the No. 3 seed in the NFC playoffs, the 49ers eye a crucial matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. As they aim to clinch the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage, the team acknowledges the significance of their current position and the potential impact on their postseason journey.

They came, they saw, they tamed the birds! The San Francisco 49ers secured a decisive 42-19 victory against the Philadelphia Eagles in a rematch of their NFC championship game from 10 months ago. Despite a sluggish start, the 49ers, led by quarterback Brock Purdy and the versatile Deebo Samuel, rebounded strongly in the second quarter and maintained control. Samuel showcased his impact with 138 yards and three touchdowns on seven touches. The game featured a feisty ejection involving 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Eagles head of security Dom DiSandro. Jalen Hurts faced a brief departure for concussion evaluation but returned to lead a late Eagles drive. However, Purdy's impressive performance, completing 19-of-27 for 314 yards and four touchdowns, ensured the 49ers' lead remained insurmountable. The Eagles, now 10-2, will face the Dallas Cowboys next, while the 9-3 49ers will host the Seattle Seahawks in their upcoming matchups.

The San Francisco 49ers extended their winning streak to two games after a Week 11 victory against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, solidifying their lead in the NFC West with a 27-14 win. The offense, led by quarterback Brock Purdy and wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, performed exceptionally well, while the defense contributed with two turnovers, 4.0 sacks, and 11 passes defended, limiting the Buccaneers to just two scores. However, the triumph was overshadowed by the unfortunate news that third-year safety Talanoa Hufanga tore his ACL, ending his 2023 season. Despite the setback, coach Kyle Shanahan expressed confidence in rookie safety Ji'Ayir Brown, who stepped in for Hufanga and made impactful plays in the final minutes of the game, helping secure the victory. The 49ers now face a short turnaround for a Thanksgiving Day game against division rival Seattle Seahawks, a crucial matchup as they aim to maintain their lead in the NFC West. Shanahan acknowledged the challenges of playing in Seattle but expressed readiness for the tough road game and emphasized the significance of remaining on top of the division standings.

After a three-game losing streak and concerns about quarterback Brock Purdy's performance, the San Francisco 49ers showcased their dominance with a commanding 34-3 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Niners, now 6-3 and ranked among the top three teams in the conference, excelled in every aspect of the game, with Purdy delivering a flawless performance, completing 19-of-26 passes for 296 yards and three touchdowns. The return of key players, including Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams, played a crucial role in the team's success, with George Kittle emphasizing the impact of Samuel's versatility on the field. The defense, featuring standout Chase Young, demonstrated formidable pass-rushing capabilities. Despite recent critiques, the Niners, boasting an array of talent, including the best running back, a top-tier defense, and a versatile receiving corps, look poised for success in the NFC. With a healthy roster, they aim to maintain their position atop the division, eyeing a significant matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13 for NFC supremacy.

49ers Defensive Coordinator Steve Wilks Moves to Field for Tactical Boost
NOV 8 // Photo @Az Cardinals // Santa Clara, CA
The San Francisco 49ers are making a strategic adjustment by moving defensive coordinator Steve Wilks from the booth to the field in an effort to invigorate a defense that struggled during a recent three-game losing streak. After a strong start to the season defensively, the 49ers faced challenges in recent weeks, prompting the decision to have Wilks on the field for the upcoming game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The team's defensive performance notably declined during the losing streak, leading to the shift. Wilks will now communicate playcalls directly to linebacker Fred Warner, aiming for more effective in-game adjustments. Despite Wilks expressing a preference for working from the press box, the change is seen as a move to enhance communication and leadership on the field during critical moments.

Bengals' Resurgence: Burrow Leads Elite Offense to Victory over 49ers
OCT 29 // Photo ERSE 21 GBT // Santa Clara, CA
The Cincinnati Bengals, led by a resurgent Joe Burrow, displayed a rejuvenated and elite offensive performance against the San Francisco 49ers, securing a 31-17 victory. Burrow's remarkable escapes and near-flawless passing, including a streak of 19 consecutive completions, underscored the Bengals' offensive prowess. Wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase and running back Joe Mixon shone, contributing significantly to the team's success. On the defensive side, linebacker Logan Wilson's impactful presence, highlighted by a game-high nine solo tackles and a crucial interception, played a pivotal role. Despite the 49ers' defensive struggles, rookie kicker Jake Moody showcased reliability with a successful 36-yard field goal. The Bengals now stand above .500 for the first time this season, signaling a resurgence as they establish themselves as formidable contenders.

Legendary Broadcaster Al Michaels Bids Farewell to NBC Ahead of NFL Playoffs
DEC 12 // Photo ERSE 21 GBT // New York, NY
In a surprising announcement, NBC is parting ways with the iconic 79-year-old broadcaster Al Michaels just ahead of the NFL playoffs. Michaels, celebrated as one of the greatest play-by-play announcers in American sports history, expressed his unawareness of the jeopardy to his role last month. Despite losing his Sunday Night Football position to Mike Tirico in 2022, Michaels believed he would still be calling a postseason contest on NBC. However, the network's decision comes amid reported strife with top executives. Michaels, who shares the record for the most Super Bowl calls on television, will be absent from the playoffs, marking the end of an era. NBC will deploy two broadcasting teams for the upcoming games, with Tirico and Cris Collinsworth handling three, and college football broadcasters Noah Eagle and Todd Blackledge taking on the rest, including Eagle's feature on Nickelodeon’s "SpongeBob SquarePants" telecast of the Super Bowl. The departure of Al Michaels raises questions about the future of sports broadcasting and the changing landscape of veteran voices in the industry.

The memo, prompted by an incident involving 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw and Eagles head of security Dom DiSandro, stressed that non-player personnel should not interfere in on-field altercations. Greenlaw was ejected from the game after an encounter with DiSandro, prompting the league to remind clubs about the importance of avoiding such interactions and letting coaches and officials manage on-field situations. The incident remains under investigation by the NFL, highlighting the league's commitment to maintaining order and professionalism on the sidelines.

NOV 25 // Photo Steve Friend GBT // New York, NY
The New York Jets faced a disappointing 34-13 defeat to the Miami Dolphins, extending their losing streak to four games. Tim Boyle, starting in place of the injured Aaron Rodgers, struggled, throwing for 179 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions. Despite Coach Robert Saleh stating that Boyle will start the next game against the Atlanta Falcons, the offense continues to struggle, with offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett's unit having only 10 touchdowns in 11 games and poor conversion rates on third down and in the red zone. The offensive line, dealing with injuries, remains a concern, contributing to the team's offensive struggles. As the team seeks a solution to its woes, there is anticipation for Rodgers' return, with him needing a doctor's clearance before practicing. The Jets face a critical period of self-reflection and preparation for their upcoming game against the Falcons.

Goodell praised Swift as an "unbelievable artist" and Kelce as an "unbelievable player," emphasizing their happiness in the relationship. He acknowledged that their connection has brought together fans of both Taylor Swift and the NFL, contributing positively to the league's visibility. Goodell welcomed the attention generated by Swift and Kelce, citing the significant viewership increase during a Chiefs-Jets game attended by Swift. Despite rumors suggesting the NFL's involvement, an executive clarified that the league had no role in orchestrating the relationship. The attention garnered by the Swift-Kelce phenomenon is seen as beneficial for the NFL, enhancing its appeal and engagement with fans.

NOV 21 // Photo Steve Schultz GBT // New York, NY
The New York Jets have benched quarterback Zach Wilson in favor of Tim Boyle for their upcoming Black Friday game against the Miami Dolphins, marking the second quarterback change this season. The decision comes after a series of offensive struggles, with Wilson ranking last in completion percentage and 32nd in QBR among eligible quarterbacks. Despite the challenges, Aaron Rodgers, who was initially replaced by Wilson due to injury, expressed empathy for Wilson, emphasizing the team's collective responsibility for its performance. Rodgers, still in rehabilitation, hopes to return this season and remains optimistic about the Jets' potential to turn their season around despite a 4-6 record. Despite personal disappointment, Rodgers is supportive of Boyle taking the helm while expressing ongoing belief in Wilson's future in the league.

NFL Investigates Bengals Over Joe Burrow's Unreported Wrist Injury
NOV 19 // Photo Brouse // New York, NY
The NFL is investigating the Cincinnati Bengals for not listing quarterback Joe Burrow on their injury report despite a wrist ailment that led to his absence in Thursday night's game against the Baltimore Ravens. The investigation follows the Bengals' posting of a video showing Burrow with what appeared to be a soft cast on his right hand, which was later deleted. Burrow left the game in the second quarter due to the apparent injury, and Coach Zac Taylor mentioned a preliminary diagnosis of a sprained right wrist. Taylor claimed unawareness of Burrow's wrist issue before the game. The NFL routinely examines compliance with injury report policies, and violations can result in fines or draft pick penalties. This investigation parallels a past incident in 2019 when the Pittsburgh Steelers were fined for inaccurately reporting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's status on the injury report.

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson will undergo season-ending surgery to repair a broken bone in his throwing shoulder, sustained during the victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The injury, a displaced fracture in his right glenoid, will require surgery, but Watson expressed confidence in his recovery and is expected to be ready for the start of the 2024 season. Watson played through a high ankle sprain in the same game and, despite an impressive performance, will miss the remainder of the season. The Browns, sitting at 6-3, will turn to rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson as the starting quarterback, with plans to add a third quarterback to the roster. General Manager Andrew Berry expressed disappointment in Watson's season-ending injury but remains optimistic about Watson's future impact on the team.
