Don't sign Tyreek Hill With an ACL tear and knee dislocation to recover from, there's no guarantee Hill will provide the downfield threat the 49ers need when he was on the receiving end of 2-3 Jet Chip Wasp for the Chiefs in Super Bowl 54 or, after that, the Miami Dolphins. Plus there's too much baggage, starting with the heinous way he began his NFL career. Hard pass.
Not all 49ers are looking forward to what could be a schedule with two international games on separate continents, which hasn't happened in NFL history. The 49ers are expected to host a December game in Mexico City, and although the NFL has yet to announce that, 49ers officials have indicated that is the plan. That's not fair. Then the NFL, I feel, is doing us a disservice, fullback Kyle Juszczyk said in an exclusive interview at Monday's Pro Bowl practice in San Francisco.
"As we make history with the NFL and bring the first regular season game to Australia, we are pleased to take our annual matchup against our NFC West rival San Francisco 49ers to the MCG," said Rams president Kevin Demoff in a statement. "Since we first secured marketing rights to the country in 2021 and more recently since the announcement of this game last year, we have seen tremendous excitement for our team from fans both in Australia and also across the world.
Of course, Brady is the executive producer of this series (via his Religion of Sports production company), and it's well-known he grew up as a die-hard 49ers fan. At a red carpet event ahead of the San Francisco premiere last week, Brady's production partner Gotham Chopra said this specific project has been a long time coming from the seven-time Super Bowl champion. "Tom is football, through and through - it's the love of his life. And I think that love was born and conceived with the 49ers," Chopra said. "... I think this is a story he's always wanted to tell, and it started to come together three or four years ago."
