Why the 49ers Will Get Revenge Upon the Chiefs

Feb 11, 2024 | si.com | Ted Hazelrig

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in football and arguably one of the best of all time. Travis Kelce is a first ballot Hall Of Fame tight end. Isiah Pacheco runs extremely fast and angry for a running back. Rashee Rice is one of the best rookie wide receivers of the 2023 season. The Chiefs defense was one of the best at getting pressures and sacks and it was ranked No. 2 in scoring allowed and No. 2 in yards allowed in 2023.
Keys for a 49ers Victory at Levi's

Jan 26, 2024 | si.com | Ted Hazelrig

In speaking with multiple Lions content creators this week, it became very clear that there are many parallels between them and the 49ers. Both have strong run games, quarterbacks whom they don't trust in the elements, elite tight ends, versatile wide receivers, kickers that they don't trust, elite punters, shaky secondary players and elite edge players. Both teams are front runners who play well with leads, but not so well in close games, or when trailing.

The San Francisco Bay 49ers with a record of 12-5 are arguably the best team in football. The Green Bay Packers at 9-8 and 1-0 in the playoffs are one of the hottest teams in football. After Saturday night's game at Levi's, only one will remain. This will be the 10th playoff game between these two proud franchises. more postseason meetings than any other two teams in NFL history. The 49ers lead the series 5-4. They were 1-4 vs Brett Favre and 4-0 vs Aaron Rodgers.
Ravens Aim to Stuff 49ers' Stockings with Coal This Christmas

Dec 25, 2023 | si.com | Ted Hazelrig

It doesn't feel like hyperbole when I say that this game has the potential to be the biggest game of the 2023 season. This is widely viewed as a potential Super Bowl preview. Both teams are 11-3 and hold the No. 1 seed for their respective conferences. The 49ers have the best offense in the NFL. The Ravens defense is top two, if it's not the best. Something has to give:If Arik Armstead and Javon Hargrave were able to play, then I would say that the 49ers defense vs.
Can Kyler Crash Purdy's Arizona Party?

Dec 17, 2023 | charlotteobserver.com | Ted Hazelrig

Brock Purdy, born and raised in Queen Creek Arizona (fewer than 40 miles southeast of Phoenix), will have a cheering section of friends and family on Sunday at State Farm Stadium in Scottsdale. The heavily favored 49ers face Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals in what promises to be Purdy's homecoming party. Can Murray crash the celebration? The 49ers have arguably the best roster in football. The Cards roster has many holes in it, especially on defense.
A Letdown Seems Likely for the 49ers vs. the Seahawks this Sunday at Levi's

Dec 10, 2023 | si.com | Ted Hazelrig

The 49ers have won nine games and four in a row. None bigger than beating the Eagles decisively in Philadelphia. Kyle Shanahan and the players said all the right things since then about quickly moving on, to prepare for the Seahawks this Sunday at Levi's. Fred Warner even said that nobody coordinated wearing all black as they walked into Lincoln Financial Field:If you believe what Warner said, then I have a bridge to sell you.
Will Rain Bring Pain to 49ers vs. Eagles in Philadelphia?

Dec 2, 2023 | si.com | Ted Hazelrig

I did six Behind Enemy Lines shows with Eagles content creators this week. The 49ers are favored by three on the road for good reason. Both teams have elite offenses:Though both boast elite offenses, their styles diverge significantly. The 49ers like to jump on their opponents early. When they win, it's almost always by a wide margin. Their offensive line is very adept at run blocking but has struggled in pass protection, especially without Trent Williams.
Bucs Run D Could Spell Trouble for 49ers this Sunday at Levi's

Nov 19, 2023 | si.com | Ted Hazelrig

Brock Purdy made his first NFL start against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 14 of the 2022 season. Purdy dominated the Bucs defense that day. The 49ers scored 35 points in barely more than three quarters. This week, the Tampa Bay defense will look very different. All-world defensive tackle Vita Vea barely played last year. Elite free safety Antoine Winfield Jr. was out, as was the Bucs' other starting safety, along with cornerback Sean Murphy-Bunting.
49ers vs Jaguars: Game of the Week

Nov 12, 2023 | si.com | Ted Hazelrig

The 49ers are undefeated coming off of a bye week under Kyle Shanahan, but that is in jeopardy as the Jacksonville Jaguars are coming off of bye week themselves. They are the third team out of four that the 49ers will play coming off of their bye weeks. An abnormally high number, since each NFL team only gets one bye week each season. The 49ers already lost to the first two teams they played coming off bye weeks: the Browns & the Bengals.
49ers face tough challenge against Bengals in highly-anticipated 2023 season game

Oct 29, 2023 | bvmsports.com | Ted Hazelrig

Key points: The Bengals game is one of the most anticipated games for the 49ers in the 2023 season. Joe Burrow's recent improvement and the Bengals' strong offense make them a formidable opponent. There is a debate whether Brock Purdy or Sam Darnold should start, but resting Purdy could benefit the team in the long run. In a highly anticipated matchup against the Bengals, the question arises: should the 49ers start Brock Purdy or sit him?
