Week 11: San Francisco

[Amy]

It's the first time in his career that Tom Brady has played in San Francisco. The last time we played here was 2008, the year he missed due to injury. The weather will be in the high 50s to low 60s with a 15 percent chance of rain.

This is a game we should win. The 49ers are just bad this season.

Notable Inactives for us are Gronk, Chris Hogan, Jabaal Sheard and LaAdrian Waddle.

Notable inactives for the 49ers are Torrey Smith.

Go Pats!

[Amy]

Greg Gumbel and Trent Green have the call. There will be at least one 1999 Rams reference in this game.

We won and deferred.

3rd and 4: Brady to Jules for the 4 yard TD!

The defense is troubling. We've given up 6 plays of 10+ yards in this quarter. We either stop them for nothing, or give up a chunk play.

The Pats start at the 25 after a short kick. There are also penalties. Offside on the 49ers declined. Low block on the return against Streeter is taken, the ball is moved to the 40.

Halftime.

Ugly quarter. We could be up 20-3. We could be down 14-13. We need to play better and get this win.

The rain is still pouring down. I suspect a lot of Blount and Lewis.

After the flag, the 49ers bench is flagged. 15 more yards for us. Apparently, they were warned earlier in the game. A coach came onto the field, that was the reason for the flag.
