Kurtenbach: Did we see the ‘real’ 49ers in Jacksonville? I think so

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 14:17:10 GMT

Three-game losing streak?What three-game losing streak?On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers looked like world-beaters again, blowing out a hot Jacksonville Jaguars team — in Florida, no less — by 31 points to move to 6-3 on the season.It was the kind of comprehensive, never-let-up performance we came to expect from the Niners in the early weeks of the season when the juggernauts opened with a 5-0 record.It was the kind of performance that looked fleeting as the Niners trudged into last weekend’s bye carrying that three-game losing streak.So, where does the truth lie with this team?Are the 49ers really the kind of team that blows out playoff-caliber teams like Dallas and Jacksonville, or was that three-game skid the accurate indicator of this squad’s quality?Here’s another way to put it: Can we trust these Niners?Related ArticlesSan Francisco 49ers | McCaffrey comes up short of TD despite 49ers’ best efforts San Francisco 49ers | 49ers Studs...

49ers’ defenders explain how they flourished in ‘Sacksonville’

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 14:17:10 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Just a quarter into their reunion, Nick Bosa and Chase Young did exactly what they hoped to rekindle from their Ohio State days: They met at the quarterback.That meant sandwiching the Jaguars’ Trevor Lawrence for one of the 49ers’ five sacks in Sunday’s 34-3 win, and, better yet, it resulted in Bosa forcing a fumble that he recovered.“Having him is such a big threat. We play off of each other well,” Bosa said of Young. “Me and him are really excited to keep going.”This performance was bigger than that one play by two heralded pass rushers, all due respect to Bosa’s 1 ½ sacks in his best game of the year and Young’s debut after his Oct. 30 trade from Washington.A resounding theme in the postgame setting were how the 49ers’ defense played “complementary.” While a great pass rush can the best friend for a secondary, the same could be said in vice versa, and it was said.“The guys in the back end were disguising things and mixing it up,” defensive tackle Arik Armstea...

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 14:17:10 GMT

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (AP) — The San Francisco 49ers are Super Bowl contenders once again. All they needed was a three-game skid, a bye week and a cross-country trip to Jacksonville to get back on track.Brock Purdy threw three touchdown passes, including a 66-yarder to George Kittle, and the Niners seemingly fixed all their woes with a 34-3 drubbing of the streaking Jaguars on Sunday.“We know who we are. We know what we’re capable of,” defensive tackle Arik Armstead said. “We have an extremely high standard for ourselves. Bigger than any people or any outside people can put on us.“We want to be great. We want to be dominant, and we want to play at a high level. And we know our team is going to need us to do that.”Deebo Samuel returned from a three-game absence and added a 23-yard scoring run for the 49ers (6-3), who stopped Jacksonville’s five-game winning streak and reestablished themselves as a favorite in the NFC.San Francisco dominated both lines of scrimmage and ...

Running backs shine early, defense shines late as Steelers slip past Green Bay with 23-19 victory

Published Tue, 24 Dec 2024 14:17:10 GMT

PITTSBURGH (AP) — Najee Harris stopped paying attention to the circumstances long ago. Maybe because they almost never change for the Pittsburgh Steelers.It’s going to get tight. It’s going to get late. And Pittsburgh is going to somehow find a way.Even when the Steelers are outgained — which is always, at least in 2023. Even when they’re out played — which is frequently. Even when the only place they regularly look like a team in playoff contention is the standings — which is essentially the story of the first half of a season that is somehow both chaotic and utterly predictable at the same time.Maybe that’s why Harris more or less shrugged after a 23-19 win over Green Bay on Sunday that had all the hallmarks of so many victories that have come before. A little offense. A couple of timely turnovers, and just enough of everything else to survive.“I’m just so used to (close games), I don’t even realize it,” Harris said after running for 82 yards an...
