On Headlines podcast with Jessica:

#1 Dallas Cowboys strength and conditioning coach Markus Paul passed away at age 54 on Wednesday.

Paul who played at Syracuse still holds the all time interception record for the Orange at 19.

#2 Former Cal and Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday Night Football for a 24-17 win.

#3 The win puts the Rams in first place in the NFC West at 7-3 and the Rams have won three of their last four games and are favored to win the NFC West title.

#4 There’s been a lot of discussion about how Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady shined on Rams quarterback Jared Goff after the game. Brady caught a lot of heat for not meeting Goff on the field after the game for the customary handshake.

#5 The San Francisco 49ers are down nine players who are on the Covid-19 list. The 49ers have added two more players nose tackle DJ Jones and defensive end Jordan Willis. The 49ers have a number of injuries but having up to eight players on the Covid list certainly doesn’t help.

By Jeremiah Salmonson

The San Francisco 49ers are coming off their bye week. It was a much needed rest for a a squad who has been banged up with injuries all year long. While this break may not help the likes of Jimmy Garrapolo and George Kittle, it may help some of the other players dealing with other nagging injuries.

The 49ers will take on the Los Angeles Rams. The Rams, are coming off a solid win against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Granted, Tom Brady and the Bucs did not play particularly well in the game. The Rams appeared to be in control most of the game.

This week the Rams will look to exploit a 49ers team with little left to play for. The 49ers also have a notable amount of players on the COVID list. The Rams and Jared Goff will look to keep the pedal to the medal in their chase for the playoffs.

For the 49ers, it will be the first game since coming off a bye. Hopefully, the 49ers will have Cornerback Richard Sherman back. That will help neutralize the air threat the Rams face. It is good news for the first time in a while for a 49ers team dealt a rough hand in 2020. Maybe this can be the week the 49ers return to the win column.

The game is slated for 1:05 PM on Sunday at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. The game will be broadcast on the local Fox Station.

Headline Sports podcast with London Marq: No cusTOMary handshake from Brady; How Obure and Wannamaker will workout for Golden State; plus more

On Headlines podcast with London:

#1 Lots of criticism towards Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady for not going on the field after the game for the customary handshake with the opposing quarterback this time with the Los Angeles Rams Jared Goff after Monday Night Football. Brady refused to shake the hand of Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles during week 5.

#2 Brady had this reputation as a nice person who contributes his time for charity and has opened his house up to the much criticized teammate and running back Antonio Brown but after shunning two opposing NFL quarterbacks twice after two games this season he’s starting to hear it from critics all around.

#3 The Golden State Warriors were hoping to have bolstered their roster adding guard Brad Wanamaker and Kelly Oubre Jr after what Warrior Stephen Curry calls after the injury to Klay Thompson “tragic for a guy as talented and hungry as Klay.”

#4 The Sacramento Kings nearly dealt away Bogdan Bogdanovic but now the team is trying to make him an offer. The Kings nearly dealt Bogdanovic to the Milwaukee Bucks but the Bucks acquired Jrue Holidy from the New Orleans Pelicans and Bogdanovic was up for bid as the Atlanta Hawks are vying for him at $72 million for four years. The Kings are debating whether to match that offer but some sources say that the Kings would better letting Bogdanovic go the Hawks because it allow salary cap flexibility around D’Aaron Fox, Marvin Bagley III, and Tyrese Halliburton’s salaries.

#5 On Monday the San Francisco 49ers signed quarterback Josh Johnson 34, as a practice squad quarterback and most likely won’t be on the active roster unless quarterback Nick Mullens is on the injured list. This is Johnson’s 14th NFL team and he has played in four different leauges, the UFL, AAF, XFL, and now the NFL.

On the Raiders podcast with Barbara:

#1 Barbara the Raiders (6-4) just missed getting their fourth straight win against the Kansas City Chiefs (9-1) in a game that was just out of reach 35-31.

#2 The Raiders who hung with one of the best teams in the NFL right down to the final quarter of the game where each team scored 14 points but the Raiders needed a little more but time just ran out.

#3 Once again those second and third quarters were critical on both sides of the ball. The Raiders held the Chiefs just to seven points in each of those quarters but couldn’t produce any offense in the third quarter which turned out to be critical in the end.

#4 For Raiders quarterback Derek Carr an explosive afternoon of throwing against the Chiefs defense accomplishing 275 yards, three touchdowns, and was intercepted once.

#5 So it’s back to the drawing board for Las Vegas as their heading to Atlanta for a 1:00pm kickoff. The Falcons have been playing .500 ball they lost to New Orleans Sunday 24-9 and beat the Broncos the week before 34-27. Barbara talk about how you see the Raiders faring in Atlanta on Sunday?

The Raiders were 28 seconds away from sweeping the defending Super Bowl champions in the season series, but couldn’t hold on.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes hit tight end Travis Kelce for a 22 yard touchdown with 28 seconds left in the game to hand the Raiders a 35-31 loss at Allegiant Stadium.

“I couldn’t be more proud of our football team,” said head coach Jon Gruden. “I wouldn’t trade any of our players for anybody.”

Las Vegas quarterback Derek Carr was masterful throwing for 275 yards and three touchdowns including a 4th quarter drive to take the lead late, resulting in a one yard touchdown pass to tight end Jason Witten.

“I felt like we were running efficiently and we were hitting some big plays in the passing game, but it just stinks, man, it wasn’t enough,” said Carr.

“We really feel like we can play with anybody,” said Witten. “That’s the type of team that we expect to have.”

Tight end Derek Waller led the Raiders catching seven balls for 88 yards, including a three yard touchdown catch in the 4th quarter.

“It’s tough,” said Waller. “Losing in any form or fashion is not fun whatsoever, especially like that.”

Running back Josh Jacobs rushed 17 times for 55 yards and scored the first points of the game on a two yard touchdown run.

With the loss, the Raiders fell to 6-4 on the season heading into their next game in Atlanta against the Falcons on Sunday.

Game Notes:

  • The Raiders were outgained by the Chiefs in total yards, 460-364.
  • The Chiefs executed 36 first downs.
  • The Raiders fell to 2-3 at home at Allegiant Stadium.
