The Seahawks are in the playoffs because they beat the Rams in Week 18 and the Packers lost to the Lions, but that might not have been the case without a few officiating calls that went Seattle’s way in the win. A questionable running into the punter call on the Rams and no-calls for intentional...
Weather will be an issue today in Santa Clara, where the 49ers host the Seahawks in the first game of the wild-card round. That has been known for days. Now, based on the forecast available at Weather.com, a new wrinkle has trickled into the mix. Thunderstorms become a potential factor at 4:00...
The 49ers have made a pair of veterans available for Saturday’s playoff matchup with the Seahawks. San Francisco announced on Friday that running back Tevin Coleman and cornerback Janoris Jenkins have been elevated to the active roster from the practice squad. Coleman has appeared in five games...
The Seahawks signed running back Tony Jones Jr. to their active roster off the practice squad, the team announced. They needed running back depth with DeeJay Dallas questionable for Saturday’s playoff game with an ankle injury. Jones, who the Seahawks signed off the Saints’ practice squad...
Despite playing with their third-string quarterback, the 49ers are in a position to make a deep playoff run. That’s because seventh-round rookie Brock Purdy has not played like someone who was the last pick in the 2022 draft. Purdy led the league with his 112.0 passer rating over the season’s...
The coach of the year typically refers to the coach whose team most exceeded the general expectations that existed before the season started. In 2022, plenty of coaches fell into that category. One managed to take his team to the playoffs under circumstances that seemed unlikely to the point of...
When the Seahawks and 49ers get together for the third time this season, weather could be an issue. On Thursday, San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan was asked whether the conditions can be an equalizer. “I always think bad weather slows the game down and equalizes stuff, but when it’s one game...
The 49ers ruled out two players for Saturday’s game against the Seahawks. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) and cornerback Ambry Thomas (ankle) will not play. Neither practiced all week. Every other player on the 53-player roster had a full practice Thursday. Defensive lineman Arik Armstead...
Seahawks safety Ryan Neal will be back on the field for Saturday’s Wild Card game against the 49ers. Neal missed the last three games with a knee injury, but he practiced all of this week and he did not receive an injury designation for Saturday. Neal started 10 of the 14 games he played before...
It’s wild-card weekend. Actually, the league would prefer that we call it “super wild-card weekend.” Which is something I won’t do, largely because they want me to do it. I also don’t want to call it wild-card weekend either, because it’s not. It used to be, with teams that didn’t win their...
There’s an argument to be made that Brock Purdy has been the best quarterback in the league since he took over for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo in San Francisco’s Week 13 victory over the Dolphins. Since then, Purdy has led the NFL with a 112.0 passer rating, completing 68.3 percent of his passes...
When Taft and Bakersfield got together in California to cap the underrated ’80s classic The Best of Times, the underdogs came to life once the weather took a turn for the worse. When the Seahawks and 49ers meet for round three in Santa Clara on Saturday, Mother Nature could be putting a thumb on...
The 49ers’ practice report Wednesday remained the same as Tuesday aside from defensive lineman Nick Bosa returning to full participation after a rest day. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) and cornerback Ambry Thomas (ankle) remained out of practice. Defensive lineman Arik Armstead (foot...
Seahawks rookie running back Ken Walker III missed practice Wednesday, a day after being estimated as a full participant. It likely is a scheduled rest day, but the status report on Thursday will provide a better idea. Walker went on the practice report with his ankle injury in Week 14, missing...
After he signed a contract before the 2020 season that made him the league’s highest-paid running back, Christian McCaffrey missed 23 of 33 games over the next two seasons. He had hamstring and ankle injuries in 2021 that twice landed him on injured reserve. The 49ers saw enough the first six...
The 49ers beat the Seahawks twice in the 2022 regular season. San Francisco won 27-7 at home in Week Two and then 21-13 on the road in Week 15. Now they’ll take on one another again for the first matchup of the postseason on Saturday afternoon. On Tuesday, 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said he...
The NFL Players Association announced the first Players’ All-Pro Team on Wednesday. Only active players were eligible to vote and players could not vote for themselves or for their teammates. They also only voted for the position group they play in as well as the players that they lined up...
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll talked on Tuesday about how happy he was to watch the Lions eliminate the Packers on Sunday night to put Seattle in the playoffs. And then Carroll immediately shifted to the task ahead of his team. “Unfortunately, we’re playing the Niners, and they’re loaded,” Carroll...
On Sunday night, the Lions delivered Seattle to the playoffs by beating the Packers. It wouldn’t have mattered if the Seahawks hadn’t beaten the Rams earlier in the day. And that wouldn’t have happened if Seattle safety Quandre Diggs hadn’t intercepted a pass meant for a wide-ass open Rams...
After the 2021 season, the Eagles were in an interesting spot. The club had gone 9-8 in Nick Sirianni’s first year as head coach, falling in the first round of the playoffs to the Buccaneers. Jalen Hurts was solid in his first full season as a starter, tossing 16 touchdown passes while also...
