San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens' Week 15 performance against the Seattle Seahawks has earned him a FedEx Air Player of the Week nomination.

Mullens went 20-of-29 for 275 yards with a touchdown and a passer rating of 110.6 while guiding the 49ers to their fourth win of the season. It was his highest passer rating since his NFL debut against the Oakland Raiders during Week 9 (151.9). San Francisco beat Seattle 26-23 in overtime.

"He's played very good and he's gotten better as he's gone," head coach Kyle Shanahan said of Mullens on Monday. "I thought yesterday was probably Nick's best game, especially the way he finished it in that fourth quarter. He didn't complete a lot of balls, but just him getting rid of the ball on some really tough protection situations."

Mullens is up against Philip Rivers of the Los Angeles Chargers and Deshaun Watson of the Houston Texans. Rivers threw for 313 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions in a 29-28 win over the Kansas City Chiefs. Watson threw for 294 yards with two touchdowns in a 29-22 win over the New York Jets.

49ers reportedly sought No. 17 overall pick plus Jaguars player for Brandon Aiyuk

Mia O'Brien, a reporter for Jacksonville radio station 1010XL, was the first to link San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. A new report from O'Brien sheds light on the asking price for the star wide receiver, who is entering his fifth-year option. According to O'Brien, the 49ers sought the No. 17 overall pick, plus wide receiver Zay Jones, in exchange for Aiyuk. However, it seems this asking price was deemed too high for the Jaguars, who would have had to part ways with these assets and commit significant money to Aiyuk in the form of a contract

Leonard Floyd is eager to begin working with his new San Francisco 49ers coaches and teammates. In free agency, the team signed the former Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams pass rusher to line up opposite star defensive end Nick Bosa, providing a boost to a defensive front that was inconsistent in 2023. Floyd matched his career-high with 10.5 sacks last season with the Bills, a statistic that would have tied with Bosa for the 49ers' team-high in 2023. In a recent interview with team reporter Lindsey Pallares, Floyd was asked how he believes his skillset complements Bosa's. "I believe our skill sets will complement each other well," Floyd responded. "We both been guys who've

After Steve Wilks's dismissal, the San Francisco 49ers had several options for their vacant defensive coordinator position. Although former Los Angeles Chargers head coach Brandon Staley was considered for the role, he ultimately joined the coaching staff as the assistant head coach under head coach Kyle Shanahan. He will focus on game plan preparations while offering his experience to the team. Nick Sorensen, the team's defensive pass game specialist, was awarded the defensive coordinator position. Shanahan opted for an internal candidate, valuing Sorensen's familiarity with the staff and the defensive system. When asked what qualities Sorensen demonstrated to prove he's ready to call plays for the defense, Shanahan explained, "He's worked with a lot of people
