#1 With Brock Purdy back under center for the San Francisco 49ers he didn’t miss a step when he came back in his win over the Arizona Cardinals. He’s back last week from his turf toe injury and will face the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football. How confident are the 49ers that Purdy can stay consistent and he’s ready to carry this team to the post season?
#2 The Las Vegas Raiders (2-9) never could catch up to the Cleveland Browns (3-8) Sunday getting beat 24-10 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The Raiders quarterback Geno Smith just couldn’t get neither the run or passing game to get on the scoreboard. For Smith Sunday going 30-44 for 285 yards and one interception. The Raiders were shutout in the first and third quarters. The Raiders defense were having a decent game they shutout the Browns in the first and third quarters but it wasn’t enough to close the game out in a 14 point loss at home.

#4 The San Francisco 49ers had voided wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk’s contract worth $27 million for the 2026 season. The question had been about Aiyuk’s future with the 49ers and was he who wanted to void the contract so he can become a free agent in 2026 or was it the 49ers idea to part company with him. “I’ve been coaching over 20 years, and I’ve never been in a situation where a contract’s been voided,” Shanahan said. “It’s extremely unusual to me.”
