It's long been a joke among NFL writers that you know you're in the club when you can type "Nnamdi Asomugha," and your spell-check doesn't skip a beat. The former Oakland Raiders and Philadelphia Eagles cornerback, who signed a one-year, $1.35 million contract with the San Francisco 49ers on...
What exactly proceeded to go proper: Flacco has been outstanding during the clutch, precisely darting brings straight into restricted spots. Boldin dominated lesser cornerbacks. Jimmy Brown rice in addition to Bernard Pierce pushed this Patriots to be able to commit added defenders for the...
NEW ORLEANS -- It should come as no surprise, with all the talk about the Harbaugh family this week, that the final walkthroughs for both the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers were full of families. Both teams structured their Saturday workouts without a lot of structure at all.

Smith is a good QB. He has a QB rating that is one of the best in the entire NFL. However, Kaepernick has...
The San Francisco 49ers used sound second-half adjustments on both sides of the ball and a steady dose of Frank Gore to erase a 6-3 halftime deficit to move to 5-2 on the season, momentarily taking control of the NFC West with a 13-6 win over the Seattle Seahawks (4-3) on Thursday night...
The Detroit Lions will be without 75 percent of their starting secondary, as cornerbacks Dwight Bentley and Chris Houston and free safety Louis Delmas are inactive for tonight's game against the San Francisco 49ers. With Bentley and Houston out, the Lions will start Jacob Lacey and Drayton...
