NFL playoff race: Bears and 49ers clash with playoff bye week at stake

The Bears' defense is having an extraordinary year turning the ball over. The ball-hawk brothers Kevin Byard and Nahshon Wright are showing a preternatural ability to read a quarterback's mind and, as such, Chicago lead the league in interceptions (21) and total turnovers (31). They need to keep the giveaways flowing to cut the legs from a San Francisco offense quietly becoming a juggernaut.

49ers head for playoffs with inexperienced defensive starters

Their young, patchwork defense so glaringly lacks playoff experience that defensive coordinator Robert Saleh recently summoned a couple of veterans to explain the playoff mindset that's required going forth. Safety Ji'Ayir Brown spoke up, having intercepted Patrick Mahomes as a rookie in the Super Bowl two seasons ago (spoiler alert: the 49ers lost). Veteran Clelin Ferrell also talked, having reached last season's NFC Championship Game with Washington but also having missed the 2023 49ers' postseason because of a knee injury in the regular-season finale.

Path to Super Bowl LX: Top QBs in race to Santa Clara are Josh Allen, Matthew Stafford

When the participants for Super Bowl LX are determined, it will have a lot to do with quarterback play coming down the stretch in the regular season as well as the playoffs. And guess what? The resurgent 49ers are right in the mix. The 49ers are always better offensively executing bootlegs and rollouts, and Brock Purdy has been very good the last two games against Cleveland and Tennessee. Neither are world beaters, although the Browns' defense is formidable.

George Kittle, 49ers pump up Sharks before their win over Calgary Flames

A handful of 49ers players, including Kittle, quarterback Brock Purdy and fullback Kyle Juszczyk, made their presence felt Tuesday night as the Sharks hosted the Calgary Flames. Kittle and his teammates were in the Sharks' dressing room before the game to read the starting lineup. Then, just like a few 49ers players did during the 2019 playoffs, they opened the door to the team's locker room right before the start of the game, as the Sharks skated onto the ice to Metallica's Seek and Destroy.

Skyy Moore 'chasing' first touchdown as 49ers' return specialist

One of these returns, he vows, will end up in the end zone. It's always the goal, of course, but even more so since reporters filled him in earlier this season about the 49ers' historic struggles in the return game. They have not had a punt return for a touchdown since the 2011 season opener, by Ted Ginn Jr., who amazingly also scored on a kick return that game.

49ers' Kyle Juszczyk returns to Ohio roots on cusp of another milestone

Kyle Juszczyk proudly recalls making $5.15 an hour. That was minimum wage 20 years ago, when he was a teenager in Medina, Ohio, about an hour south of Cleveland. He worked with his brother, Sean, who's six years older and was their manager at McDonald's. That carried extra power at Thanksgiving break, when they would head to a snow-covered football field at the local high school.
