San Francisco's first major league sports franchise will play its home opener in another city for the first time in 68 years, as the 49ers inaugurate the team's new home in Santa Clara Sunday.
The 49ers home opener at Levi's Stadium was one of the hottest tickets in the league when the tickets were printed, but it appears the amount people are willing to pay to see the first ever regular season game at the new Santa Clara stadium has dropped sharply.
It's only week 2 and both the 49ers and Bears are both less than 100% entering an important matchup. Outside of Anthony Davis all players are a question mark, so hopefully injuries will have a minimal effect on the outcome.
Moral character is a key factor the San Francisco 49ers consider in recruiting players, a top team official said Thursday, acknowledging the difficulty of accurately assessing how an athlete will ultimately behave on and off the field.
The San Francisco 49ers announced they have suspended radio broadcaster Ted Robinson for comments he made on domestic violence.
San Francisco Supervisors have unanimously adopted a resolution that takes the 49ers to task for allowing a team member, who's the focus of a domestic violence investigation to play in last Sunday's game.
The San Francisco 49ers won their first game of the 2014 season, but they didn't generate enough offense consistently on their own. Gifted four turnovers by the Dallas Cowboys, the 49ers didn't score at all in the second half of the game. They'll need to make sure they create their own opportunities in Week Two against the Chicago Bears at the Levi's Stadium opener.
San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York offered his first comments Tuesday on the arrest of defensive end Ray McDonald on domestic violence charges, defending the team's decision to allow McDonald to play as the legal process plays out.
Should the 49ers continue to play defensive tackle Ray McDonald following his arrest for alleged domestic violence? John Madden doesn't think so.
The first NFL regular season game played at Levi Stadium has the San Francisco 49ers hosting the Chicago Bears. On paper, Chicago is very similar to San Francisco's week 1 opponent the Dallas Cowboys. The Bears have an offense that can score points at will, an inconsistent passer and a less than spectacular defense.
San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh would not address any more questions on Ray McDonald's domestic violence arrest and did not have a comment on the video of Baltimore running back Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee, which prompted the Ravens to release Rice from the team Monday.
Move over Tebowing and Kaepernicking. During Sunday's NFL game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Dallas Cowboys and brand new verb began to emerge – "to Romo."
Coach Jim Harbaugh announced the move Monday, a day after his team's 28-17 win at Dallas. James has sought a greater role in the running game, but he had just two carries for no yards against the Cowboys on Sunday.
The 49er defense shined in San Francisco's 28-17 victory over the Cowboys in Dallas Sunday. But John Madden says don't forget about the offense.
All the problems that seemed to be facing the 49ers were worked out on the field. The offense looked fine, the defense stepped up and the result was a road win, that was far from a lock. f the 49ers can continue to improve, they will be back in the thick of things at the end of the season.
