proud of the 15 academic all americans far, the most in the country. he is 50 years old and certain he is not done, he doesn't know what the next step is. >> i didn't use the word retirement. i have not said the word retirement. this is time for me to step away , time for stanford to find the next person to lead. i said it the other day, this program, the winningest program in school history, i hope the next person beats it. i really do. chris: the 49ers won the game yesterday and shutdown the saints 13-0. the coach says running back elijah mitchell's knee is more serious than expected, most likely out to 6-8 weeks. the order back took a lot of -- quarterback took a lot of big

hits and that didn't look good. avoid a disaster when he was hit late and low in many by the defenseman. garoppolo in clear pain but stayed in the game. jimmy g knows the season relies on him. >> i was staying in the game. i knew what type of game it was. that was the only hit that was questionable -- was not the only hit that was questionable. but that is football. >> each game is different. you try to adjust during those games. i feel like jimmy had a number done on him. chris: with yesterday's win in minnesota, the warriors pushed over .500. they have won 8-11 thanks to steph curry, who scored 30 or more in 12 games this season, second in scoring and first in three-pointers made

this season. he helped get the warriors back on track. they are starting to live up to preseason expectations. >> steve told us to play for each other and simplify things and when we do that, we are the best in the world. >> to get everybody playing well at the same time is great. we are starting to put it together, and if we can keep building at this rate, we will be poised for a run pretty soon. chris: back to football. the 49ers face the dolphins sunday. a former running back said the dolphins have, quote, way better talent than the niners and tua tagovailoa can actually sling it. he tried to walk back the comments, but today, deebo samuel tweeted, be real with yourself, with crying laughing emojis. the trash talk is on. it will be great.
