The #49ers blowout of the Colts wasn’t perfect, but it was a near-perfect illustration of what they’ll need to do to win in the playoffs. www.ninersnation.com/san-francisc...

The 49ers were ninth in EPA per play *before* this masterclass against the Colts. Imagine being a starting WR actively trying to leave Kyle Shanahan.

The Skyy Moore trade is turning out to be one of the best #49ers moves of the offseason. He’s in rarefied air among 49er return men and receiving huge plaudits from his coach and his teammates. www.ninersnation.com/san-francisc...

The 49ers will officially end the season with a winning record whatever happens from here after their 26-8 victory over the Browns. After everything they've been through, that's reason enough to consider their 2025 season a success. www.ninersnation.com/san-francisc...

You don’t get extra points for style, but, for these banged-up, grind-it-out #49ers, Sunday’s win over the Cardinals was the kind of victory that had eluded them all season long. www.ninersnation.com/san-francisc...

It all looked very, very easy for Brock Purdy yesterday as the 49ers blew out the Cardinals. Arizona's ineptitude helped, but Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle still had huge praise for their returning QB. www.ninersnation.com/san-francisc...

ESPN really helping their brand having this guy be the star

The 49ers raised some eyebrows by not making a trade on deadline day, but one deal they made in the offseason is looking increasingly astute and important. www.ninersnation.com/san-francisc...

There was a lot to like from the #49ers offense on Sunday, but the loss was a reminder of their limited room for error down the stretch. www.ninersnation.com/san-francisc...

The 2025 season continues to be a remarkable coaching job from Kyle Shanahan and his 49ers staff. 5-2 amid relentless setbacks. Shanahan has to be the Coach of the Year front runner.

A really encouraging half from the 49ers. Already over 100 yards rushing on offense, while a undermanned defense is swarming to the ball and finding ways to get pressure.

“That’s a big no. We’re working on that.” Kyle Shanahan on Skyy Moore fielding punts inside the five. #49ers

Tatum Bethune will wear the green dot going forward with Fred Warner out. #49ers

“Purdy is more limited than Mac.” Shanahan clarifies the injury statuses of his QBs. #49ers

“Having another good blocker always helps, having back in the pass game is huge. Having him on the field on every offensive play helps.” Shanahan on the impact of Kittle’s return. #49ers

Brock Purdy will be limited in practice, as will George Kittle, says Kyle Shanahan. Gross-Matos, Pearsall, Skyy Moore all out.

The 49ers aren't likely to give up trying to improve up front following the Fred Warner injury, but they may have to change their approach as to who they target. www.ninersnation.com/san-francisc...

49ers lose 30-19 in Tampa. Too many mistakes after a crushing season-ending injury to All-Pro LB Fred Warner. Kyle Shanahan confirms Warner has a broken and dislocated ankle. He will undergo surgery.

Might be tough sledding for the 49ers running the ball again today. But, in one sense at least, the 49er run game has worked this season, even if the production isn’t there. www.ninersnation.com/san-francisc...

The 49ers can't replace Nick Bosa with one player, but there's a defensive end they can theoretically trade for who would raise the floor of the collective who will try to fill the void. www.ninersnation.com/san-francisc...

Trent Williams on Ricky Pearsall: “I think he’s going to cement himself as one of the top receivers in the league here soon.”

Warner on Dee Winters: “I’m so happy for Dee. He’s just scratching the surface of what he’s capable of doing. He’s got that big-play ability in his body. We’re going to need him to just keep getting better every week.”

Juszczyk: “We know we’re not a finished product. 3-0, and 2-0 in the division, it’s a great place to be.”

Shanahan on Pearsall: “It’s how Ricky’s been for a while. It’s one of the reasons we wanted to draft him here. Hasn’t disappointed us at all.”

The 4th and 2 play-call to Ricky Pearsall: ‘Trips right, 3 jet Florida’

Shanahan on the three ‘grimy’ wins: “I’ve just been so proud of the guys in all three games. Those are some of the games that we struggled to win last year. To win all three, can’t say about them.”

The 49ers can’t rule anything out with Nick Bosa’s injury, but he’s been cleared for an ACL on initial tests, says Kyle Shanahan.

The 49ers, with Mac Jones on one leg, and half the roster looking like the black knight from Monty Python, are 3-0. Kyle Shanahan might finally win Coach of the Year in 2025.

I have no earthly idea why Mac Jones on one leg is in the shotgun from his own end zone but it just cost the 49ers a safety.

Fred Warner sparing Mac Jones’ blushes with a huge batted pass on third down.

49ers’ lead is gone in a blink. An atrocious defensive series.

Mac Jones on one leg gives the 49ers the lead with a dime to Pearsall and a TD on the bootleg to Juszczyk. This game makes no sense. Compels me though.

49ers defense almost forces a safety as Kyler Murray scrambles into an intentional grounding penalty. This is a wild rock fight.

49ers’ best drive of the day ends in disaster. Mac Jones can barely move with an apparent leg injury, and the 49ers turn it over on downs at the goal line.

That Demercado drop a monumental break for the 49ers, who nearly paid a much bigger price for failing to get off the field on fourth and 4.

Nick Bosa out for the rest of the game.

Bryce Huff ends the half with a sack of Murray. 49ers lead 6-3 and get the ball to start the second half.

Decent two-minute drive from the 49ers. Pineiro puts them ahead with a 51-yarder.

Kalia Davis is having an outstanding game for the 49ers.

The answer is yes, but a 49ers drive that had them in the high red zone stalls and an Eddy Pineiro field goal ties it at 3-3.

Cardinals on the board first with a field goal. Now back to the big question, can the 49ers get a first down before half?

Nick Bosa questionable with a knee injury

That coverage on third down from Upton Stout was not his best
