Blaine Gabbert's 71-yard touchdown pass to Torrey Smith after 2:10 of sudden death overtime gave the San Francisco 49ers a most improbable 26-20 victory over the Chicago Bears at Soldier Field on Sunday.
The Chicago Bears have a couple of dynamic running backs ready to take advantage of the San Francisco 49ers defensive injury woes, which include three linebackers that were limited in workouts on Thursday. Otherwise, the 49ers have no new major injury concerns as they head to the Midwest to face off against the Bears on Sunday at Soldier Field. Instead, the team can focus on winning its first road game of the 2015 regular season.
The average fan generally believes that the more valuable a franchise becomes, the more successful it has to be on the playing field. That simply is not the case.
The San Francisco 49ers have turned into a road mess this year, after posting a 24-11 mark away from their home stadiums from 2011-14 under former coach Jim Harbaugh—including playoff contests.
In a year of sweeping changes for the San Francisco 49ers, few could have envisioned journeyman running back Shaun Draughn leading the way in the ground game down the stretch this season.
Coming off a tough home loss against the Arizona Cardinals, the San Francisco 49ers now must bundle up for a road trip to wintery Chicago to face the Bears next Sunday.
Jim Tomsula is now talking about having his players sprint off the bus and into Solider Field on Sunday.
Once again, the San Francisco 49ers played much better at home on the Levi's Stadium turf than they do on the road, but it wasn't enough to beat the NFC West-leading Arizona Cardinals.
The 3-7 San Francisco 49ers host the 8-2 Arizona Cardinals on Sunday at Levi's Stadium, and they do so with no new injury concerns. Some of the same players are still nicked up, of course, and running back Carlos Hyde remains questionable for the Week 12 matchup.
Even though it's been a season of turmoil for the San Francisco 49ers, there are still many things the organization has to be thankful for this Thanksgiving. As the teams and fans enjoy the holiday on Thursday, they should keep in mind their good fortune in relation to other NFL teams.
Brett Favre, Terrell Owens and Alan Faneca are semifinalists for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility.
The San Francisco 49ers are 3-7 this year and going nowhere fast. This weekend, they host the 8-2 Arizona Cardinals, who may be the best team in the NFC this year (with all due respect to the 10-0 Carolina Panthers).
Head coach Jim Tomsula studied the film from the 49ers' lopsided loss to the rival Seattle Seahawks and saw a tentative team, one trying not to make mistakes.
Once they woke up, the San Francisco 49ers played a decent game on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks on the road. Unfortunately, the 49ers were behind 20-0 before they started to compete.
The team announced on Saturday that Kaepernick has been placed on injured reserve, which means he'll miss the rest of the season.
The San Francisco 49ers got 168 yards from running back Carlos Hyde in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, but in the eight games since then, the 49ers have gotten just 302 yards from the oft-injured Hyde. It now looks like San Francisco won't have their No. 1 running back for this Sunday's road contest against the Seattle Seahawks, due to a continuing and lingering foot injury. That will put the pressure on quarterback Blaine Gabbert to take on the Legion of Boom without much support.
The San Francisco 49ers may be just 3-6 this year, which is disappointing after the last four seasons of (mostly) success. Before this season began, the team made a strong decision to cut ties with troubled linebacker Aldon Smith—who had already served a nine-game suspension last year for off-the-field issues and was once again arrested in August for another crime. With the news Tuesday that the NFL has suspended Smith for another year, it's clear the 49ers made the right choice.
Having not won in Seattle's CenturyLink Field since 2011, the San Francisco 49ers are hoping a change at quarterback can spark their struggling offense against the Seahawks.
San Francisco's starting quarterback might be a week-by-week decision for coach Jim Tomsula, yet he is noncommittal on what might happen next week after Sunday's game at Seattle.
The San Francisco 49ers have a bye this weekend, and that makes this a perfect time to look at which players have stood out this season for the right reasons—and which players have stood out for the wrong ones.
With an extra week of preparation and rest before they head up to Seattle for a November 22 matchup against the hated Seahawks, the San Francisco 49ers are hoping that wide receiver Anquan Boldin and running back Carlos Hyde heal well enough to face the final seven games of the season with confidence. The 49ers offense is the worst in the NFL by almost any measurement, and without Boldin and Hyde, there's no chance it improves.
Former 49er defensive standout Patrick Willis has emphatically responded to Bleacher Report's story that he is considering returning to football.
As the San Francisco 49ers enjoy their bye week in this tough 2015 season, it's time to look forward to next season. With a 3-6 record and the current personnel problems, it will be a very different 49ers roster that takes the field at Levi's Stadium in September 2016.
With the surprising 17-16 home win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday in Blaine Gabbert's starting debut at Levi's Stadium, the San Francisco 49ers now get a week off. The team needs time for running back Carlos Hyde and wide receiver Anquan Boldin to get healthy.
As expected, San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Tomsula is sticking with Blaine Gabbert as the starting quarterback after the bye week.
