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

Brock Purdy was admittedly off his game early on against the New York Giants Thursday night, but by the time the game was over he compiled some impressive numbers, especially considering what he was up against.

Well, it seems like the NFL took notice, as Aiyuk was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 1, starting off his 2023 campaign with an award already. Brandon Aiyuk:

It wasn't the blowout many San Francisco 49ers fans believed it would be, but in the end, the 49ers outlasted the Los Angeles Rams in a week two divisional matchup. With the win, the 49ers start the season 2-0 and currently sit one game up in the NFC West. Although it may not have been a blowout on the field, it was in the stands. The fanbase ratio wasn't even close. There were many more 49ers fans in the stands than there were Rams fans. But that didn't surprise anyone, except the Rams content creator I interviewed last week. He thought it would be 50/50. He was wrong. It was more like 70/30—if even that close. Every week during the season, I share my
