One year after trade, 49ers continue to strike gold with Christian McCaffrey
By Kirk Larrabee
Oct 1
It's safe to say the San Francisco 49ers' decision to trade for running back Christian McCaffrey in 2022 has worked out about as well as it possibly could have to this point.
Not every trade has turned out that way for the 49ers in recent years, to say the least, but the move to acquire McCaffrey currently ranks as one of the best moves the team has made since general manager John Lynch and head coach Kyle Shanahan came on board in 2017. McCaffrey has become the focal point on a star-studded offense and is proving on a weekly basis that he is more than worthy of the price the 49ers paid to acquire him (a second, a third, a fourth, and a fifth-round pick) from the Carolina Panthers on October 20,

On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers looked dominant in their 35-16 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. Several players had standout performances, including quarterback Brock Purdy and running back Christian McCaffrey.
Another was wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, whose exceptional performance earned him the game's highest overall grade (93.4) from Pro Football Focus. The grade doubles as the highest of the receiver's career.
Aiyuk is proving to be one of the NFL's rising stars, which will aid him next offseason when he seeks a contract extension with the 49ers.

Ex-49ers coach Jim Tomsula named Coach of the Year after guiding Rhein Fire to European championship

Former San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Tomsula has guided the Rhein Fire to a European League of Football championship. The 49ers named Tomsula their head coach in 2015 after the firing of Jim Harbaugh. His tenure lasted just one season as San Francisco went 5-11 that season.
Chip Kelly replaced Tomsula in 2016, who also lasted just one season. Kyle Shanahan has been the 49ers head coach since 2017.
Tomsula went on to serve as the defensive line coach for Washington (2017-19) and the Dallas Cowboys (2020) before being named the new Rhein Fire head coach last year. It was a reunion with the team he coached in 2006, when the Rhein Fire were a part of NFL Europe.
Tomsula guided his European team to a 7-5 record last year. This year, he went 12-0

Cowboys' Johnathan Hankins on clash with 49ers: "I definitely think this is the year we get them"
By David Bonilla

Johnathan Hankins has only been with the Dallas Cowboys since last season, after the Las Vegas Raiders traded him. He spent some time after that on injured reserve but was activated in time for Dallas' playoff bout with the San Francisco 49ers.
Hankins has heard the chatter around the locker room. His team is eager for Sunday's matchup in Santa Clara.
The 49ers have ousted the Cowboys from the playoffs for the past two seasons, and Dallas is growing weary of the recurring narrative about their struggle to overcome this one-time bitter rival. It's a rivalry that may be starting to regain some of its 90s form.
Are Hankins and the Cowboys treating the Week 5 clash of NFC titans like a playoff game?
"Most definitely," Hankins responded, per
