wilson, jr., 21 yards to the house. 7-3 san francisco. wilson, jr., had a big game, early third quarter a nice run, he had 22 carries, 183 yards rushing, 204 all-purpose yards and when do you that, you go play action and then you find a wide open kyle juschek. fourth quarter, fourth down and kyler murray's pass batted down by fred warner, two plays later, play action and there's jus again, another touchdown for the 49ers pro bowl fullback, 20-12. five minutes to go, murray and witherspoon with the interception, niners snapped a three-game slide and win 20-12. under five minutes to go. >> the guys feeling the vibe of the locker room, the guys going out there with nothing to lose, really just inspiring each other. it was really awesome this week. >> we're not proud of our record. we'd love to be better, but that doesn't tell the story of who these guys are, what they've been through all year and that

they give everything they have, every game day. >> i could just feel it, i know those guys, they block their tails off today for me, and i could feel it. i could feel it. now i'm just ready to watch it. raiders hosting the dolphins. derek carr in the line-up after suffering a groin injury. fourth game tied at 16-16. carr buys time, rolling right and finds nelson aguilar. watch the catch and the rest of the play, nelson weaves in and out of traffic, 85 yards for the touchdown, 22-16 raiders after the missed p.a.t. dolphins rookie quarterback tua tagovailoa pulled and fitzmagic files myles gaskin. 59 yards to the house. the game was crazy. dolphins up 23-22. there is your quarterback room, excited but wait, there's more. raiders josh jacobs doesn't score here and that sets up what las vegas believes is the game-winning field goal,

daniel carlson makes it 25-23 with 19 seconds to go but plenty of time for fitz, out of the shotgun, airs it up to mack hollands, big play and there's more. the raiders were flagged for face mask, add another 15 years. jason sanders from 44 yards out for the win and it's good. dolphins win 26-25. the raiders are eliminated from the playoffs. miami stays alife at 10-5. that's your look at sports. let's send it back to you. >> woo. that was a game. we're going to get a check of the bay area forecast with meteorologist lisa argen. hi, lisa. >> hey, jovina. good morning. starting out with slightly cooler weather, although the cloud cover is insulating us somewhat, so some 30s where we are in the north bay, with 40s elsewhere. live doppler 7 showing you the cloud cover and the satellite and radar composite, you can see some moisture offshore here, an area of low pressure to the

north, and these two will link up and allow for some rain tonight, bringing in some level one storm impact scale, but the shower activity and the snow unfortunately south of the bay area, the impressive amounts. the central sierra around yosemite could pick up about ten inches. lake tahoe maybe an inch or so. here is our roof camera. 47 downtown. it's 46 in oakland with 43 in mountain view. san jose checking in at 45 as well as half moon bay, and here is the airport in the south bay, where we're looking at temperatures cooler in the north bay, upper 30s, napa, novato. it's 40 in livermore and our storm impact scale at level one tonight into monday morning, so we're talking about 9:00 tonight in the south bay, the highest totals will be there and from monterey into santa cruz, and big sur, and looking at those breezy southerly winds. here is a look at walnut creek, all of the cloud cover there, and the camera moving. cloudy skies, we'll get a few peeks of sun this afternoon,

probably about 12:00, 1:00. partly cloudy, and then more clouds increase and then the rain arrives tonight, taking us through early monday. we get a break midweek. next chance of showers, light activity on new year's eve, thursday. as we go through the next several hours there is our little break, this is 4:00 on sunday. there's the rain down to the south and it continues to spin up into 9:00/10:00 and you can see this band of rain from san francisco, the peninsula, and down through the south bay. it is a quick mover, so we're not too concerned about that debris flow, where we had all those fires from the dolan complex, and the czu complex, so as it continues to move in the counterclockwise fashion, it will spin up some showers, but the rainfall amounts are trending less than what we previously thought, so by monday, we're back into partly cloudy skies, and adding up the totals, not too impressive. a couple hundredths up in the north bay over a tenth from san francisco and oakland. really lesser amounts than christmas day for some of you,

but they'll begin to add up a little bit from the coastal hills, we get that orographic look into perhaps capitola, around the south bay as well. as we get into your tuesday, the final days, this is the 29th of december, we're dry into the 30th we're dry, the 31st could see a few lights showers, and that's about it, as we get into your new year's day, we're dry, and then friday night into saturday, could see another fast-moving system, so they're not big storms. they're not big snowmakers, but they're just adding enough moisture that will help us out down the road, and hopefully as we get into january and february, where we get most of our rain, we'll see some bigger systems but for now, it's a dry day with more clouds around, 59 in oakland. 60 in fremont today as well as san jose and tonight looking at some rain moving into the south bay for say about 9:00, 10:00, overnight lows colder in the north bay, where we won't have as much cloud cover or much

rain. the accuweather seven-day forecast our level one system tonight into early monday, as we clear out overnight lows getting really cold for you tuesday morning, and wednesday morning, afternoon highs in the mid-50s and new year's eve very early, maybe a light shower into new year's day, it's going to stay quiet, and as we get into next weekend, maybe some showers out there, jovina. nothing big but at least a little bit of rain helps. >> we'll take it. fingers crossed, thank you, lisa. a new animated movie made right here in the bay area made its long awaited debut on christmas. a small business in the east bay provided some inspiration for pixar's new movie "soul." i watched it. it is pretty great. abc 7 news reporter cornell barnard caught up with the husband and wife tailors and this is such a nice story. ♪ >> reporter: you may have passed zoltan and his wife pujes' small tailoring shop in berkeley a hundred times but never noticed
