Jerry Rice loves his Justin Bieber
Jerry Rice is an NFL legend, record breaking wide receiver, and ... Justin Bieber fan? Just when you thought you knew a guy. Rice posted on Twitter last night that he loves a Bieber song and no, we are not going to try to guess what it is. Is Rice on his way to becoming a Belieber? Seriously, that's a thing.

Rookie wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk finished Sunday's game with seven catches for 75 yards and a touchdown.

Can the San Francisco 49ers pass the football deep downfield? Are they capable of it? Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice wonders that. A lot of fans wonder that too. The team certainly doesn't take a lot of deep shots against opposing defenses.
They took one on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints, though, and it did not go well.
Wide receiver Richie James had Saints safety Marcus Williams beat deep. Niners quarterback C.J. Beathard, out of the shotgun, threw the football toward the open receiver.
"Toward."

It was Beathard's only snap of the game. According to head coach Kyle

Hall of Fame wide receiver Jerry Rice joined 95.7 The Game on Monday morning, as he does each week during the season, and discussed the upcoming matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams still have their Monday-night game to play, and the Niners are coming off a bye week. The two NFC West rivals will clash on Sunday at 1:05 p.m.
"They have to look at that game — and I'm calling it right now — that game is a playoff game, guys," Rice told the hosts of The Morning Roast. "That's the way the Niners gotta look at that game coming up."
