Several sports leagues took action Thursday to cancel or postpone events. Even though it’s in the offseason, the NFL should do the same.

San Francisco quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo struggles in key moments against Kansas City in Super Bowl LIV as 49ers fall to Chiefs 31-20 in Miami.

49ers scout-team quarterback C.J. Beathard lost his 22-year-old brother when he was stabbed during an incident in Nashville on Dec. 21.

Dee Ford was one step away from the Super Bowl with the Chiefs before his offsides helped the Patriots stay alive and ultimately win the AFC title.

The Faithful are rewarded. The 49ers’ Shanahan-Lynch plan has worked to give the proud franchise a shot at a record-tying sixth Super Bowl crown.

San Francisco’s Richard Sherman was banking that 49ers’ rebuilding plan would get him back in championship hunt. He’s a key player who got them here.

The 49ers had little trouble dispatching the Vikings via the run game and pass rush, and San Francisco will advance to the NFC title game.

Lamar Jackson, Antonio Brown, the Dallas Cowboys and Cleveland Browns, and Andrew Luck’s retirement figure prominently as we recap 2019 in the NFL.
