49ers Talk with Matt Maiocco

Brock Purdy's return sparked the 49ers' offense, it also brought a much needed divisional win in a blowout against the Cardinals. Purdy threw for three touchdowns on Sunday, two of which went to a favorite target in tight end George Kittle and the other went to offensive fulcrum Christian McCaffrey, who leads the NFL in scrimmage yards this season through Week 11. Skyy Moore set the tone, returning the opening kickoff 98 yards to the 1-yard line, setting up a McCaffrey 1-yard touchdown run. San Francisco maintained control throughout the game, one in which Arizona did itself no favors accumulating a franchise-record 17 penalties. San Francisco did not escape Arizona unscathed though, as kicker Eddy Piñeiro suffered a hamstring injury in the third quarter that could force the team to bring in a new kicker. On this episode of '49ers Talk,' co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down San Francisco's outstanding performance against the Cardinals Sunday at State Farm Stadium. Matt and Jennifer discuss the impact of Purdy's return on the 49ers' offense during a crucial stretch, Kittle and CMC's dominance, and how injuries to both Piñeiro and linebacker Tatum Bethune might affect the team ahead of Monday's showdown with the Carolina Panthers.

Kyle Shanahan, Greg Papa discuss key matchups in 49ers' Week 10 game vs. Rams

The NFL trade deadline came and went Tuesday, and the 49ers stood pat with the roster they have. San Francisco's quiet approach spoke volumes about their intent despite fervor from fans, sticking to their path of growth and development with youth. At 6-3, the 49ers can compete -- and they've decided to do so with the current players at their disposal. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss San Francisco's choice to trust its depth and chemistry over a splashy trade that would mortgage their future. Also, as Brock Purdy and Ricky Pearsall continue rehabbing their injuries, just how close are they to returning? Finally, Matt and Jennifer debate if the 49ers can strike gold again against the Los Angeles Rams after their rivals' Week 5 theatrics.

49ers stick to their strategy as trade deadline passes without a move

The 49ers bounced back in a big way with a statement win over the New York Giants. San Francisco was laser focused in all three phases, never looking back after taking a second-quarter lead. The 49ers' offense was humming all afternoon, scoring a season-high 34 points while Christian McCaffrey added a pair of touchdowns along with 173 total yards. San Francisco's win didn't come without cost, as 2025 first-round draft pick Mykel Williams went down with a knee injury late in the fourth quarter. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down how the 49ers responded to their disappointing loss against the Houston Texans with an offensive outburst in Sunday's win over New York. They also review how Williams' potential loss could affect the 49ers' approach at the NFL trade deadline. Finally, with a pivotal divisional matchup with the Los Angeles Rams looming, Matt and Jennifer discuss Brock Purdy's progress as the quarterback works back from a toe injury.

Kyle Shanahan discusses 49ers' Week 9 matchup vs. Giants, impact of George Kittle’s return

In need of reinforcements along their injured defensive line, the 49ers made a trade with the New England Patriots for defensive end Keion White and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick in exchange or a 2026 sixth-rounder. Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan discuss how White bolsters a 49ers defensive line whose nine sacks are tied for the second-fewest among all NFL teams this season. Matt also sits down with NBC Sports Boston's Patriots insider Phil Perry to examine White's time with the organization as a former second-round pick of the 2023 NFL Draft. Lastly, Jennifer and Matt review if the 49ers would entertain any other trades, assess rookie Mykel Williams' stock through eight games and provide 49ers injury updates before San Francisco's Week 9 game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.

How does 49ers trade acquisition Keion White fit with team?

The 49ers came into Week 8 knowing the Texans' defense was elite, but it was Houston's struggling offense that took over Sunday at NRG Stadium. Heavily scrutinized QB C.J. Stroud executed a sound game plan for the Texans, while 49ers teammates George Kittle and Jake Tonges each caught a touchdown on on national Tight Ends Day to keep San Francisco's comeback hopes alive. San Francisco's offense lacked much rhythm beyond that, and the disjointed display effectively ended in a 26-15 loss, their third of the season. On this episode of "49ers Talk," co-hosts Matt Maiocco and Jennifer Lee Chan break down what went wrong with San Francisco on both sides of the ball, which injuries will further affect the 49ers' depleted depth and how they can turn a performance like this around in Week 9 vs. the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
