- November 14, 2016
Kaepernick, returning to the scene of one of the worst games of his career a season ago, completed 17 of 30 passes for 210 yards and ran 10 times for 55 yards. Floyd said he had never gone through a stretch where he struggled this much before. Losing Veldheer will sting, says Palmer. Kelly said his secondary had an "up and down" day when factoring in the array of penalties, acrobatic catches, interceptions and, well, allowing two 100-yard receivers in Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd.

Jared Goff could start Week 11 vs. Dolphins
- November 14, 2016
Los Angeles' 6-foot-4, 215-pound quarterback was considered the top quarterback prospect by many draft analysts heading into 2016 draft, but is clearly having a more hard transition to the National Football League than many expected. It ultimately depends on the quarterbacks themselves. Fitzpatrick is clearly not getting the job done and at the very least, Petty would give the Jets a much-needed spark on offense. (more...)

- November 14, 2016
Sunday's 25-23 loss to the Denver Broncos - when a potential game-winning extra point with 1:22 left by kicker Wil Lutz backfired into two points the other way - just may merit a special niche in the Saints' Hall of Shame. Saints quarterback Drew Brees had a tough first-half but would rally New Orleans in the second half. Brees gave New Orleans a 17-10 lead with a 5-yard pass to Snead. (more...)

That was your first rushing touchdown of the season. On an ensuing drive, the 49ers would allow big pickups along the sideline in a two-minute drill before a pass interference call on Eric Reid would set up a first-and-goal situation from the one yard line.
