Nick Bosa hasn't reached an opposing quarterback yet this season after recording an NFL-leading 18.5 sacks last season. Some of that may be the San Francisco defensive end getting warmed up. Bosa missed all of training camp and the preseason while holding out for a new contract. He finally returned to the 49ers after a six-week absence and just days before the team's Week 1 matchup. The reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year has recorded two tackles and two assists in two games. The 49ers enter a short week. They host the New York Giants at Levi's Stadium on Thursday, the team's home opener. Is the 49ers pass rusher worried about the quick turnaround? "I'm not too concerned about it," Bosa told reporters after the

On Tuesday, "Inside the NFL" shared some mic'd up footage from the 49ers-Steelers clash (h/t

Kyle Shanahan can't believe what happened. The San Francisco 49ers head coach still has emotional scars from the regular-season opener two years ago against the Detroit Lions. The Niners had built a 41-17 fourth-quarter lead and felt the win was in hand. Then, the Lions came storming back with two late scores. San Francisco ended up escaping with a 41-33 win, but Shanahan could have done without the added excitement in the final minutes of what had looked like a blowout. That game remains one of the reasons why the 49ers coach refuses to get too comfortable against an opponent, even with his team up big, as was the case on Sunday against the Pittsburgh
