Shanahan and the 49ers can repeat what they accomplished in 2019 and wrap up another NFC West title on Thursday night in Seattle against the Seahawks, but with far less stress this time.
Josh Jacobs sprinted 86 yards for a game-ending touchdown and the Las Vegas Raiders won in overtime for the second straight week, beating the Seattle Seahawks 40-34.
Jimmy Garoppolo threw four touchdown passes, as the San Francisco 49ers won their third straight game by beating the Arizona Cardinals 38-10 in Mexico City.
The San Francisco 49ers are sending second-, third- and fourth-round picks in 2023 and a fifth-round pick in 2024 to the Carolina Panthers for star running back Christian McCaffrey, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday night.
Marcus Mariota and Geno Smith have been cast off and discarded by other teams in the past. Now, both are trying to prove they are more than just stopgap options for either the Atlanta Falcons or Seattle Seahawks.
The Atlanta Falcons know this is a rebuilding season, but would like to avoid facing another 0-3 start. That means Atlanta needs to find a way to win in Seattle on Sunday against the Seahawks.
