The 49ers are 2-0 before their first home game of the 2023 season.They beat the Rams 30-23 on Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles, using two second-half interceptions to win a tight game against their division rivals.Brock Purdy finished 17-of-25 passing without a touchdown or an interception. Christian McCaffrey rushed for 116 yards on 20 attempts, while Deebo Samuel made six catches for 63 yards and added a touchdown on a quick screen that was technically counted as a run.Those two interceptions came from cornerbacks Isaiah Oliver, who made a juggling catch on a deflected pass inside 49ers’ territory, and Deommodore Lenoir, who jumped a route in the fourth quarter to stop a potential game-tying drive before it got started.The Niners turned both interceptions into field goals on the ensuing possessions, as rookie Jake Moody made all three of his attempts, including a 57-yarder.Here’s what Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers had to say after the game:INGLEWOOD, CALIFORNIA – SE...

A double shot of whiskey, Barbie dress-up day and a much-needed win leave SF Giants in good spirits, despite lackluster series vs. Rockies

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 17:53:02 GMT

DENVER — A paper cup filled to the brim with brown liquid sat next to the porterhouse covered in tin foil on the desk inside the visiting manager’s office here Sunday afternoon. It’s a tradition of Joc Pederson’s to pour Gabe Kapler and his teammates a shot of whiskey after a win.“He was like, ‘You need a double today,’ ” Kapler said after the Giants emerged victorious, barely, 11-10, over the Rockies, in a Coors Field special that allowed them to escape this four-game series with one victory and their playoff hopes hanging by a thread. “It’s gonna be useful.”Between the win, the whiskey and the Brandon Crawford-Ross Stripling devised Barbie movie dress-up day, the Giants boarded their charter flight in good spirits, despite their once lights-out closer very nearly wasting their best offensive showing in ages.Crawford’s three-run homer into the Rockies bullpen should have been a knockout punch, the biggest blow of an ...

GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Arizona Cardinals were nearly flawless in the first half, moving the ball with ease, stuffing the New York Giants at just about every turn.An easy home-opening win appeared to be in the cards.The second half rolled around and Arizona’s offense bogged down, the defense backpedaled.A winning hand turned into an epic flop, and Arizona failed to get its first win under new coach Jonathan Gannon and stopgap quarterback Joshua Dobbs.Dominating early, the Cardinals blew a 21-point third-quarter lead and left the field stunned after Graham Gano hit a 34-yard field goal with 19 seconds left to send the Giants a 31-28 win on Sunday.“Exactly what we couldn’t do, coming out of halftime we did,” Gannon said. Coming off a four-point road loss to Washington, the Cardinals (0-2) played a superb first half against the Giants (1-1).Arizona’s defense bottled up Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley, holding New York to 71 first-half yards.

Love takes blame for crucial botched quarterback sneak in Packers’ 25-24 loss to Falcons

Published Wed, 26 Feb 2025 17:53:02 GMT

ATLANTA (AP) — Green Bay coach Matt LaFleur wanted to blame crowd noise for a failed fourth-and-1 sneak by Jordan Love that opened the door for Atlanta’s go-ahead touchdown drive.It turns out LaFleur was just being kind, trying to take his young quarterback off the hook following Sunday’s 25-24 loss to the Falcons. Love was more blunt, saying he deserved blame for the the failed sneak because he didn’t correctly call the play from the Green Bay 34 with the Packers leading 24-22 in the fourth quarter. Love tried to call for the sneak but didn’t get the snap when expected and took off on the plunge without the ball. Green Bay was penalized for a false start and had to punt, setting up Atlanta’s go-ahead drive capped by Younghoe Koo’s 25-yard field goal with 57 seconds remaining.“Yeah, just messed up the operation with the cadence on that one,” Love said. “Not everybody got the call to get the sneak, so I messed that operation up right there.”Added L...

Their success resulted in another dubious mark for the A’s, whose 103 losses this season are the most in franchise history since 1979.For San Diego manager Bob Melvin, fighting off playoff elimination with a few weeks left in the season means needing more than just four wins in a row. The Padres are six games back in the NL wild card race with 12 games to play.“We have to win them,” Melvin said. “It’s probably going to come down to that.”Soto hit a two-run drive in the seventh and the grand slam in the next inning to blow the game open and give him 32 homers on the year, two shy of his career-high set in 2019 with the Nationals.“It feel...
