"Prediction: Keion White and Bryce Huff each will sack Philip Rivers. However, the 49ers remained with an NFL-low 16 sacks after failing Sunday to catch Cam Ward, the Tennessee Titans' rookie who has been sacked a league-leading 49 times. Rivers, in his first game since 2020, got sacked just once in Seattle before leading the Colts to a go-ahead field goal in the final minute of an eventual 18-16 loss. He has been sacked 465 times in 245 regular-season games; Aaron Rodgers holds the NFL record with 594 sacks in 261 games (and counting)."
"If the Niners win the next three but the Rams beat Seattle on Thursday night, do we know what seed we will be? (@jillsc13) That scenario would bump the 49ers up to at least the No. 5 seed and the first wild-card slot, although they could still win the division and the No. 1 seed if the Rams lose at either Atlanta (5-9) and/or against Arizona (3-11)."
"Only Brandon Aiyuk can answer that, and you may need to decipher his code judging from his cryptic Instagram post Monday ("Onna E way V truck, even tho Issa BP I still play the rear view mirror my wrist a PP patek Philippe same pruce uh Richard mill."). Everyone else seems perplexed as to why Aiyuk, amid serious but encouraging knee rehabilitation, backed away from the team."
Fans asked about the 49ers' ability to sack Philip Rivers as the team sits with an NFL-low 16 sacks and failed to pressure Titans rookie Cam Ward, who has been sacked 49 times. Rivers was sacked once in his return and has been sacked 465 times in 245 regular-season games; Aaron Rodgers holds the NFL record with 594. The 49ers have a four-game win streak against teams with a combined 15-41 record. A scenario of three wins coupled with a Rams win would secure at least the No. 5 seed. Brandon Aiyuk's cryptic Instagram and knee rehabilitation have raised questions after a rocky relationship since 2020.
