On Monday Night Countdown, former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis gave his opinion on the penalty against 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks during his sack of Saints quarterback Drew Brees. The call cost likely cost the 49ers a crucial win. Lewis called the penalty "the most embarrassing call in the National Football League since the 'tuck rule'."
While holding up an American Express card, Lewis would go on to say that if Ahmad Brooks is fined by the league for that hit, he would pay half of the fine.
Kyle Shanahan, John Lynch believe Nick Bosa can become an Aaron Donald-type player for 49ers

Defensive end Nick Bosa hit a setback in his development. The reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year suffered a torn ACL during Week 2 against the New York Jets.
Who knows what kind of difference Bosa's presence might have made for the struggling San Francisco 49ers? They probably would have more than just two wins at this point.
Bosa hasn't been the only injury, but his loss may have been the most impactful for the defense. The pass rush hasn't been as effective without the second-year defender. Also missing is veteran Dee Ford, who is out indefinitely with a back injury.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan knows what a good pass rush can do for a defense, and the loss of Bosa has crippled the efforts to frustrate quarterbacks this season. The young pass

Coming out of the two-minute warning, the 49ers faced a third-and-seven from their own 38-yard line with no Rams timeouts remaining. A first down meant the 49ers would be able to run out the clock and earn a huge win after a demoralizing 43-17 loss to the Miami Dolphins the week before.
Enter Samuel, who got the ball on a flip pass play the 49ers had been running with success throughout the evening. Samuel weaved his way through the Rams defense close to a first down, then plowed through some defenders to make sure the job got

Kyle Juszczyk got his second career rushing touchdown on Sunday afternoon. That was about the end of the highlights for the fullback and his San Francisco 49ers. His team was routed 43-17 by the Miami Dolphins and still seeks its first home win of the season.
The 49ers' next opportunity to do that will come next weekend against the Los Angeles Rams. With San Francisco owning a 2-3 record, some players may feel an increased sense of urgency.
Juszczyk has another way of looking at the rest of the season, as the 49ers enter a difficult stretch over the next five weeks before the bye.
"Obviously, the mood is pretty down right now, pretty low," Juszczyk
