The 49ers (5-2) will take on the NFL’s stingiest scoring defense Sunday in Houston while Robert Saleh must patch up another hole in the Niners’ defense.

To Nix’s credit, he did complete a couple of nice back-shoulder passes when the Giants finally decided to play tight man coverage. However, his “best” pass of the fourth quarter — a 29-yard completion to Marvin Mims Jr. — was actually an overthrown pass that luckily landed in Mims’ hands.

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. How did it affect their standing heading into Week 8?

Head coach Kyle Shanahan revealed the changes he made that appear to have paid off for the better. The 49ers’ 6-11 2024 campaign was arguably one of the worst of the Shanahan era, with the Super Bowl defeat hangover playing a major role.

One reason the 49ers didn't get flagged is because pulling is a penalty that NFL officials almost never call. According to Football Zebras, the last time a player got penalized for pulling a teammate came all the way back during a playoff game in January 1991, so it's been almost 35 years.

The San Francisco 49ers have three representatives on this year's list of coaching candidates for the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio.

The 49ers probably can win 12 games this season just because their schedule is so weak. But to make real noise in the playoffs and potentially win the Super Bowl, they'll have to figure out a way to score more touchdowns. And if Kyle Shanahan hasn't figured it out by now, the solution might be a trade.
