San Francisco 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 David, talk about how valuable kicker Eddy Pinerio is for the San Francisco 49ers (4-1) hitting that 41 yarder to get them the three point lead at 5:51 against what was a true rivalry in beating the Los Angeles Rams (3-2) in overtime on Thursday Night Football?

#2 San Francisco quarterback Mac Jones kept things as close as he could under center throwing 33-49, 342 yards, and two touchdowns. Jones looks like he could start somewhere in the NFL if he gets that opportunity?

#3 Next up for San Francisco the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Tampa Bay on Sun Oct 12. The Bucs played a close game against the Philadelphia Eagles losing 31-25. The Bucs with a respectable record at 3-1. How do you see that contest?

San Francisco 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 How did Jacksonville’s defense exploit the absence of 49ers DE Nick Bosa, and can San Francisco adjust to compensate in their next game and now Ricky Piersall, Jauan Jennings, and Brock Purdy are out with injuries for Thursday night.

#2 Given the pregame accusations of “legal signal‑stealing” from Robert Saleh, how might both teams manage their communication, audibles, and pre‑snap adjustments?

#3 Which offensive strategy was more effective — Jacksonville was leaning heavily on the run game from running back Travis Etienne or San Francisco pushing through the air via McCaffrey and short passes — given each defense’s strengths?

#4 Get your thoughts as 49ers get ready for Thursday Night Football in Los Angeles against the LA Rams.

Las Vegas Raiders podcast Tony Renteria:

#1 How crucial were the turnovers by the Raiders (interceptions and fumbles) in swinging momentum and giving the Bears scoring opportunities?

#2 Did special teams errors — specifically the blocked field goal late in the game — directly cost the Raiders the win?

#3 Given the Raiders’ dominance in the run game (240 rushing yards), why was that not enough to secure a win?

#4 How did Geno Smith’s play (especially the three interceptions and limited passing yardage) undermine the offensive balance?

#5  Raiders fall to 1-3 next up they face the Indianapolis Colts in Indianapolis. The Colts are colts are coming off a tough loss to the Los Angeles Rams today 27-20. The Raiders have now loss three in a row can they overcome and get a win against the Colts who are 3-1?

#4 Which team had the advantage in third‑down conversions, and how did that affect ball control and scoring opportunities?

#5 In a tight game, how did special teams (kickoff returns, field goals, blocked kicks) factor into the final outcome?

San Francisco 49ers podcast David Zizmor:

#1 The Jacksonville Jaguars defense held off the San Francisco 49ers offense for much of the game on Sunday to get their third win of the season defeating the 49ers in Santa Clara 26-21.

#2 It was the return of 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy who threw 22-38 for 309 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. In spite of his efforts the 49ers fall by a touchdown for their first loss of the season.

#3 Jacksonville quarterback Trevor Lawrence was 21-31 for 174 yards and a touchdown. It was the second quarter when Jacksonville scored 17 points that was really the difference.

#4 For the 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey he tallied 49 yards in 17 carries is there still speculation he’s playing with pain?

#5 Next up for the 49ers the Los Angeles Rams long time rival. The Rams won 27-20 defeating the Indianapolis Colts at Indianapolis today. The Rams improve their record to 3-1. 49ers head to Los Angeles for Thursday Night Football on Oct 2 for a 5:15pm kick off how do you see those two teams matching up?

New York Giant quarterback Russell Wilson (3) has been replaced by rookie back up Jaxson Dart when the Giants face the Los Angeles Chargers at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford next Sun Sep 28, 2025 (AP News photo)

NFL podcast Jessica Kwong Wed Sep 24, 2025

#1 The New York Giants will most likely bench veteran quarterback Russell Wilson and replace him with rookie Jaxson Dart. Dart makes his first start at Giants Stadium against the Los Angeles Chargers. Dart was the 25th overall pick this season.

#2 Former Dallas Cowboys and now Green Bay Packers pass rusher Micah Parsons sacked his former teammate Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Parsons said it was painful sacking Prescott, “That’s my guy. He was always like a good mentor for me. But you know how it is. He always told me if I ever faced him that it’ll be a great matchup, so I’m excited to see what Sunday brings itself.”

#3 The Houston Texans released safety CJ Gardner-Johnson on Tuesday. Johnson played in only three games with just 15 tackles and no interceptions and didn’t break up any passes. Johnson was the Texans 2022 first round draft pick as the Texans traded left guard Kenyon Green to get Johnson.

#4  Tennessee Titans head coach Brian Callahan said on Tuesday that he’s handing over the offensive play calling over to quarterbacks coach Bo Hardegree. Nick Holz will stay at offensive coordinator and will continue doing the same work building the offense.

#5 Former Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has a deferred prosecution regarding his DUI case says a King County Prosecuting Attorney’s Office they told ESPN. Sherman’s attorney requested the deferment which was granted by a King County District Court judge. That means that the charge is held in abeyance as the defendant agrees to meet the court requirements. Sherman was booked on a Feb 2024 DUI charge for driving with a blood alcohol content of 0.11 over the state requirement of 0.08.

The quote which Kittle emphasized was fake said that the account that the quote was on makes fake quotes and he hoped the many responses he got from people that they realize that.
