San Francisco 49ers Summary
Full Transcript
The San Francisco 49ers secured a solid 37-24 victory over the Tennessee Titans, improving their record to 10-4 with three weeks remaining in the season. The team showcased a strong offensive performance, scoring on all but one of their possessions, which further highlighted the effectiveness of quarterback Brock Purdy.
Purdy, while acknowledging his strong play, also expressed regret over a misstep during the game that he labeled a 'dumb' move. On the injury front, wide receiver Ricky Pearsall is dealing with an ankle injury, further complicating the team's depth at the position.
In roster moves, the 49ers released cornerback Isaiah Bolden from their practice squad just a week after signing him, indicating a potential reshuffling as they look to optimize their lineup ahead of the playoffs.
Looking ahead, the 49ers remain in contention for a top seed in the NFC playoffs, although they did not gain ground in the NFC West after Week 15. Defensive coordinator Robert Saleh pointed out that the team's defensive performance, which included 15 missed tackles, is an area needing improvement as they prepare for their next matchup against the Colts, who are currently underdogs in the betting lines.
Additionally, tight end George Kittle joined forces with the San Jose Sharks to rally support before their game against the Calgary Flames, demonstrating the team's community involvement beyond the football field.
As the 49ers navigate player injuries and adjustments, they remain focused on maintaining momentum heading into the playoff stretch.
