took it in. but overall, what grade would you give jimmy garoppolo? >> i would give jimmy garoppolo a c minus in this game the first half with all the underneath throws. not really pushing the ball down field. putting the ball in harm's way, almost getting it intercepted but in the second half, he did come alive but we saw what happens when you don't have a running game. it puts so much pressure on the quarterback to be perfect and it was difficult for jimmy tonight. they koonlt pull out the win but i think moving forward, you probably will see more of trey lance. >> aaron rodgers has been criticized a lot this season. a, for his performance in week one. and then, also, let's be honest, he hasn't been mr. warm and friendly with the media. people have said he's -- he's pouting or maybe he hasn't been, um, i don't know, the best teammate. he certainly looked like a good teammate tonight. >> yeah. he looked like an excellent teammate tonight and you see it. he was wheeling and dealing. he made it so easy for them. even on that one there, they are lining in the coverages.

i felt like coming into this game, one was to disguise until four to six seconds left on the clock. so many times out there when they wanted to bring zone blitzes, man blitzes, they lost their poise. he got them with the hand check. made them show the defense. he was able to check to the hot route and then when they went empty, they aligned in the coverages and he knew exactly where to go. and the defensive back panicked when they weren't in position. >> so aaron rodgers, still, with a lot in the tank. all right. let's check in with the right connection. the right connection is sponsored by t-mobile. brandon. one catch for six yards in the first two games. today, targeted six times. four catches for 37 yards. he was injured in camp. he was supposed to be the number one guy going in. maybe, this was his breakout game. why wasn't he used better the first two games and why is he being used better now? >> well, he was coming off an injury and now he is healthy. and he's starting to come alive.

i thought he would be a star studded number one bona fide receiver going into this year. but somewhere along the line, kyle shanahan is a master motivator. so he wants to, you know, make him believe that he has to compete for his job. tonight, he did come alive a little bit but he just didn't make enough plays to be able to get the 9ers over the hump. >> i heard a theory. i don't know if you agree with it. under nick mullens, who throws a deeper ball. and garoppolo maybe, you know, doesn't throw the deep ball as well. maybe, it's garoppolo who's not targeting him as much as opposed to shanahan? >> maybe, it is. and guys are asking like what's going on with brandon? he is a bona fide number one wide receiver. being at training camp, i thought that he had an amazing training camp. but somehow, they just can't get him the football so they going to have to figure out ways to get him the ball down the field. and maybe, that's where trey lance come into play. >> we will take our first break. when we come back, we will hear from kyle shanahan, the head

coach of the 49ers who fall 30-28 to the green bay packers. the first loss comes at home at levi's stadium on sunday night. we'll hear from kyle right after this.

who is on the ball. ten rushes, 31 yards. he did have a touchdown. what did you think of 28, daunte? >> i thought in the first half, he -- he didn't do much. in the second half, he started to find those holes. not going to get it done. especially, when kyle shanahan's offense is predicated on running the ball, getting flash plays on the ground. then, using the rpo game, play action game, and the defense for green bay.

they weren't fighting on any other faith. so that's why it was tight coverage. they loaded the box and they dared jimmy to beat them tonight. >> and one of the reasons rogers had a better game is because green bay had a better rushing game. >> yeah, they were able to utilize the quick passing game. and took the shots down the football field where they felt need to be. >> kyle shanahan, after the 49ers lose at home to the green bay packers. >> all right, guys. injuries, we have josh norman with a chest, didn't return. dante had a stinger. he came back in. >> with josh's injury, is that -- that peck injury? >> yeah, chest injury. >> is it severe? >> not sure. yeah. >> katelyn? >> just calf. he did early in the game and couldn't come back, so not sure anything more than that. but always worried when it's a calf and couldn't come back in. >> okay. thank you. >> when he scored there at the end, even though they didn't

have any timeouts, did you feel there was maybe too much time knowing who was on the other side there? >> yeah, you always worry with aaron on the other side. that's why we didn't use any time-outs. we were hoping to take it down. >> obviously, you wanted to score there. but was that play call designed just to get closer? was it -- did you think it had a chance to go? >> i mean, i think he hit the last kind of progression on the check down just had hell of an effort running up to the catch. >> we will take a break. when we come back on xfinity sports sunday, we'll look ahead to the seahawks. 49ers in seattle in week four. >> we will continue our postgame coverage in just a few minutes live here from levi's stadium. also, a big decision this week an update about kids and vaccines. and wet weather might be coming through the bay area. we'll see you in just a minute.

next sunday night, sports

sunday. tom brady and the buccaneers against his old team, the new england patriots. the return on sunday night football. 49ers have a big game, too. they'll take on their rival, seattle. the seahawks were on the road today against the vikings and it was all vikings in this one. kirk cousins completed 79% of his passes. ranked up 323 yards, three touchdowns. and the seahawks could not score the final 40 minutes of the game. the vikings won, 30-17. what do you think of seattle, daunte? what type of problems do they pose or not pose next week against san francisco? >> you always pose a problem when you have russell wilson making and putting a lot of stress on the defensive back. we saw today with the 49ers defensive back struggle with aaron rodgers sitting in the pocket. next week, they are going to have to be a lot better than

they were tonight with the movement that he can give you and their defense. they're historically good but they haven't been getting it done. so the 49ers are going to have to steal some possessions, find a way to manufacture some rushing yards and get trey lance in the game. >> arizona and the rams, two of the undefeated teams remaining in the nfl. this used to be the biggest rivalry. we remember richard sherman when he was in seattle eating thanksgiving dinner at mid-field right here at levi stadium. is it still a good rivalry? >> it is still a great rivalry. this is the best division in football. nfc west. and you have to know that after losing this week, seattle's going to come in here hungry. they're going to see everything that green bay did to the 49ers tonight. and they're going to try to duplicate it. so they are going to have to put this one behind them. not let one loss turn into two losses, come out and be ready to get a win versus seattle next week. >> many pick the 49ers to win the nfc west at the beginning of the season. were you one of them? and do you still protect them to win? >> i was one of them that predicted the 49ers to win the nfc west but after what l.a. did

today. aftermath you stafford threw for 350-yards plus, four touch downs zero interceptions, the way their defense is playing. you have to say the l.a. rams is probably the number one team in the nfc west right now. >> are the 49ers a play off team? >> definitely a play off team and today they let this slip out of their grabs. they are still sitling at number one in the division. >> reminder next sunday, you got to watch with laura brit and the 49ers pregame show. we will have everything covered. then after 49ers postgame live. and then, of course, xfinity sports sunday. thanks for watching 49ers lose a tough one. raj and janelle. [ sfx: bzzz bzzz bzzz ] [ sfx: ping ping beep beep bloop bloop ] [ sfx: honk ] [ sfx: pop pop pop pop ] [ sfx: pop ping bloop pop ping bloop ]

the day can wait. enter the golden state with real california dairy.

the 49er faithful on full display tonight. welcome to levi stadium. for the first time in, what, 18, 19 -- >> 20 months. >> first time in 20 months, we had actual fans here at the stadium and it was great to see. it was a gut punch for 49ers' fans. but sunday night football delivered in terms of the drama. welcome to the levi's stadium. i'm raj mathai. >> that is what football is all about. good evening, everyone. i'm janelle wang.

sunday night football here on nbc. the 9ers' first home game of the regular season. it came down to the last second. >> if the game ended with 43 seconds remaining -- >> the 9ers would have won. >> but right now, 70,000 people walking to the parking lot a little disappointed. like we said, it was a gut punch. >> yeah. 9ers, 2-1 now. and aaron rodgers just unbeatable tonight. he just showed that he had it all. >> aaron rodgers comes home. devonte adams comes home and lights up the bay area, where they're come. let's get to kyle shanahan in just a few minutes but radio right now let's show you the scene and the hype. it was so cool to see. 49ers. janelle, the 1994 throwback jerseys. the last time the 9ers wore these jerseys, that '94 season. the last time they won the super bowl. and who was part of that team? >> jerry rice. yeah. also, here at the game, joe staley. he was pumping up fans at the fog horn. he loves the fans, the fans love

him. he spent his entire-13 seasons with the 49ers. pumping up people before the game. >> okay. the big plays of this game. you just have to go to the final minute. again, fantastic football. jimmy g, a rocky first half. but comes back and leads the team on the what everyone you thought was the game-winning drive. that short td pass to kyle. everyone's fired up here at levi stadium. it was fun to be part of this energy but then, what, about 25 seconds later, this. >> there was too much time left on the clock. aaron rodgers drives it down and then the 51-yard field goal. packers win 30-28. >> yeah. so mason crosby, the star of this game at least for the very end. for the packers. let's check into the locker room and hear from the head coach, kyle shanahan. >> i mean, i think we got to play a lot better than we did. just some of the mistakes we made, especially early in the game, in the first half. especially, on third down with some critical situations. i think what you guys saw there at the end just getting back into the game shows some of the

players we have on our team. some great individual efforts of guys just making unbelievable plays that got us in and gave us a chance to win that game. but some of the mistakes that we made throughout the game. um, you don't win a lot of football doing that and that's what we got to clean up. >> you had the big three pass interference against you, did you think guys were reaching a little bit? >> some of them, yeah. some of them, i disagreed with. some seemed like i realized they were going to call them. stuff we hope for too on our side. >> it looked like sampson maybe got held on that 25-yard throw to devonte adams. how do you react to -- how do you assess penalties in a game like this? >> you don't. you just deal with it and you just have to live with it and we have had to deal with those for a long time. >> [ inaudible ] very quick exchange. is that just emotions? i know you guys are normally closer. >> yeah, i think i was just pissed about the game ended on the last play and wasn't trying to hang out too long in the middle of the field. >> okay.

can't really sugarcoat that. >> no. >> kyle shanahan, disappointed. ticked off to lose that game. as the clock expired here in front -- >> i last few seconds. but, you know, they did put in trey lance for one play that was pivotal right before the half. >> yeah, he had some action. that first half was rough to watch if you are a 49ers fan. they were lethargic, they were sluggish. jimmy g not getting it done but yes, right before halftime, trey lance, the rookie comes in. that short little touchdown scamper. and that's how they want to use these guys ideally. trey lance comes in. they go into half-time trailing 17-7. really, everyone thought was going to be 17-0. that was a huge play. >> that was pivotal to get the energy back in the second half. now, they got to focus on seattle when they host seattle at levi's next week. well, but it was just a great night for fans. first time back in 20 months. last time they were here, they were facing green bay at the nfc championship game in january, 2020.

70,000 fans. they were pumped up. >> and they are now outside at the parking lot. let's bring in nbc bay area's marianne favro who is here for the pregame festivities and the hype, and now the postgame thud, marianne, take it away. >> reporter: what a nailbiter, guys. oh, my gosh. the fans you see coming out here. they stayed until the bitter end hoping that the 9ers would eke out a victory but they did not. you could see these are actually packers' fans who, of course, are celebrating a victory. but you know what? the 9ers fans still had a victory because they were able to, finally, watch their favorite team in person again. sidelined by the pandemic, these 49er fans are fired up to fire up the barbecue. and once again, enjoy tailgating. rob snyder cooked up steak for his tailgating family from vacaville. >> my dad had season tickets since 1979.

i have been coming since i was, you know, a couple feet tall and it it's just being able to be here with all the people and go to the game. being able to yell, being able to support the team. it's just amazing. >> reporter: it's the first-home game with fans since january 2020. and 9er fans went big. this group brought in a deejay and created their own dance club. for 8-year-old nolan, it was a day of milestones and making memories. >> this is my first game. i never been here. >> reporter: angela gomez has been a 49ers' fan for 40 years and says this is her very first home game. >> i feel like a kid going to disneyland for the very first time. >> reporter: of course, there were a few challenges including a traffic jam so bad it took some fans more than two and a half hours to drive a few blocks from highway 101 to levi stadium. and there was fan gridlock, too, as hundreds of people crammed outside the gates to get into the stadium after kickoff.

once inside, more waiting to get food. >> i hate the lines. >> reporter: but there were plenty of flavors to try as the 49ers introduced several new local restaurants as they upgrade their food choices. and of course, since the 9ers played the green bay packers, there were plenty of cheese heads roaming the stadium. with great weather, tailgating, and a chance to see their team play in person again, this was a day for the history books. >> yeah, i loved it. the tailgate family. love being at levi stadium. cooking out in here. what more can you ask for? >> reporter: what could be better? one of the coolest things i saw was 9ers fans and packers fans, together, tailgating. sharing food. sharing drinks. sharing laughter. it felt like a football family, instead of a big rivalry. and that's really cool to see, especially since this is the 9ers '75th anniversary. a lot of fun out here, even if the 9ers lost. back to you.

>> thank you, marianne. it was a party in here. it was cool to see everyone because we were here last season for this same situation sunday night football at nbc. except, it was me, you, about 100 people and then all the players. >> exactly. >> that wasn't very fun. >> no, the players had a great time. i know it was a big rivalry and they were just happy to be back here at this stadium. now, we have got some headlines. we have some important news about the covid vaccine in children. so let's talk to jessica and terry and we will be right back with more postgame coverage. >> thanks, guys. i think everyone is just happy to be out and about and doing real life no matter how the game ends. we would like a win but real life is a win, too. >> all right. a covid vaccine for children 5 to 11 years of age may be available soon. now just a matter of days before pfizer submits data to get fda approval and that's according to pfizer's ceo. pfizer recently released data showing the vaccine is safe and effective in children. that study, keep in mind, has not been peer reviewed.

the dose given to children would be one-third of what adults are given. now, also predicting a return to normal life within a year. what would that mean? he says that will include new variants of covid to deal with, which is why annual vaccinations will likely be needed to keep the virus in check. those comments match up with predictions from the ceo of moderna, as well. a covid deadline looming at some colleges across the state. starting thursday, the cal state university system will be requiring that all students, faculty, and staff be fully vaccinated for in-person learning. that policy follows similar ones at campuses across the country, including the uc system. >> all right. let's get back out to raj and janelle. they are out there having the time of their lives, well, except for the loss out there it at levi stadium. >> so close. >> so close. >> it was close. >> thank you. so next, we are going to check in with aaron rodgers who obviously was so fired up coming back home to northern california and the guy he targeted all night was devonte adams from

palo alto high school so it was a local connection. >> right. stay right here live from levi stadium. more postgame coverage right after this break.

embracing my role and learning as much as i can from jimmy because he is a great dude, great human being, and obviously, a great football player. >> do you -- the play call obviously, do you go to the wrist band and repeat the play call? do you have a process just when you are on the sideline to kind of stay engaged? >> yeah. like i said, i'm locked into every single call. you will see, he gets every single call. the guys on the sideline get every single call, as well. so as far as personnel groupings and -- and the play call, yeah, i hear every single one. >> [ inaudible ]. >> i mean, i had a lot of confidence in our defense and will continue to. obviously, special, made some big plays and, yeah, it was obviously unfortunate. >> trey lance pivotal in tonight's game. and changing the energy right before the half. but aaron -- um -- but jimmy g also played very well. he had some really good, consistent long drives that helped push the 9ers close at

the very end. >> that was so interesting to see this because throughout that first half when jimmy g was struggling, there was -- started getting on him. but then at the end of the game, he delivered. he pulled through. everyone was looking for jimmy g. can he win a big game? can he do it? for his part, he did it. >> and this is what they did preseason, switching back quarterback to quarterback. trey lance running in for that one-yard touchdown. really turned around the game for the 49ers when they came back in the second half. >> so what's everyone going to be looking at? not just 49ers fans but really around the nation, everyone's looking at can the 49ers handle both of these quarterbacks? we checked in with the hall of fame head coach who had his thoughts. let's take a listen. >> jimmy garoppolo has been very, very good for san francisco. he's taken them to a super bowl. he's played outstanding football when he's been healthy. his problem is in new england and san francisco, he hasn't been able to stay healthy so that means you need a second quarterback that you can count on. they went out and got trey lance. a different type of quarterback and i think building him in

and -- and having some packages for him is going to give people problems. now, the -- the key is you have got to get your number one quarterback onboard with that. and i think jimmy has been. i think we'll see trey lance more and more as the year goes on. but i think it's going to be a two-headed monster that is going to give people problems. >> interesting insight from tony. but really, comes down to for this game, specifically, janelle, jimmy g did his job for the most part at the end when it counted. trey lance, we saw that flash of brilliance. and it was just that last defensive stop that they couldn't do. >> i know. but the ping-pong so far. the ping-pong, ping-pong seems to be working with these two quarterbacks so far. >> and why couldn't they stop the last on defense? because aaron rodgers and he looked so sharp. aaron rodgers, we don't like to get convoluted with all the numbers but his numbers were phenomenal. 23 of 33 and his favorite target the guy from palo alto high school. where you grew up. >> exactly. but yes, the last 40 seconds of

the game when it counted. and then, of course, that 51-yard field goal to win the game 30-28 packers. >> and this was rogers in that first quarter just to get the starting to the scoring going. aaron rodgers to devonte adams. palo alto high school, fresno state, and green bay packers. let's check in with aaron rodgers after the game. >> 37 seconds left. and all you need to do is get into field-goal range so what's your first thought? >> throw it to safe. that's my first thought. matt -- matt actually suggested i play on the sideline that first play. which something we actually worked on friday at practice. kind of scribbling in the dirt. and it worked out perfect. just put it right over fred's head. got us kind of down there a little bit. we needed one more play. um, how could you not be romantic about football? >> this one was pretty romantic and mason crosby lines up. and what are you thinking as you see him approaching that ball? >> he is going to make it. that's what he's done his entire career. he's made a bunch of big kicks

for us. i love him to death. we have been playing together for 15 years. sit next to each other every bus ride, every plane ride. he is an incredible guy. and he's so clutch. >> there is going to be so much to discuss about this game. and you know, everyone's going to discuss it whether it's the penalties that went for you or against you, whatever the case may be. what do you want to say now? what's your message? you know, get ahead of it, aaron. you usually have to respond later. we're going to give you the chance to get ahead of it. >> i feel good about our team. week one was an anomaly. i said that and i believe that. we bounced back week two. played a great football team tonight right down to the wire. and this plane ride is going to feel incredible. >> they can't wait to party on that plane home. >> partying on the bus ride to san jose airport right now. that's what they're doing. congratulations, packers. they look great. the 9ers. they're 2-1 but they beat the lions opening week, then the eagles. a tough loss tonight for green

bay. >> then face seattle here at home infect week. >> we just heard from trey lance. let's check on the jimmy g side of things. one guy we chatted with a couple days ago was vernon davis. remember vernon davis? >> of course. >> had a really nice career here. finished his career with denver and then in washington. really some solid seasons with the 49ers. we checked in with him and said, hey, what do you think if you chatted with these quarterbacks in terms of what conversations would you have in terms of the perspective? because so many people are talking about this big rift, not rift but this battle between jimmy g and trey lance. >> here's vernon davis. >> i think everyone should just do their job and just do what they're told. you know what i mean? um, of course, you bring a younger -- a younger guy in behind a veteran. the veteran is -- yeah, okay, i got this young guy behind me. but i think jimmy g being -- being a -- he should just -- just take in all that energy and just play his game. because at the end of the day, if you playing your game and you doing the best that you could possibly do, then it's going to show. no one can cheat hard work and dedication.

>> trey -- yeah, vernon davis. so glad to hear from him. obviously, a 49er legend but also an artist. >> and an actor. >> yeah. >> let's bring in nbc bay area at the studio. it's now a little chilly out here. what is going on tonight and the work week? >> one of the things i was noticing, raj and janelle, was i pay attention to what the fans are wearing, right? you see some in the jerseys but then you see ones with the beanie on. sort of a california vibe for sure. we are guilty of thinking anything below 70 is a little chilly around here. all right. so let's talk about what we're expecting because we do have an unsettled weather pattern that's going to make its way into the bay area. and get this. we have got chances of rain in the forecast. let's take a look at the current temperatures right now as you head out the door. we have got 60s. although, it's pretty late so 9:23. overnight lows are going to dip down into the 50s and we still have about a three-degree difference compared to the past 24 hours.

so cooling trend around here is going to stick around for the next couple days and i do want to talk about your microclimate highs for tomorrow. and also, of course, those rain chances. so we are going to be topping out in the 70s for tomorrow. take a look at concord. 77 degrees. san jose, 73. in through oakland, 67. and of course, san francisco, 66. but it's going to be nice to see some rain on radar. so right now, we have our very own storm ranger with our mobile doppler radar. it is up and scanning. now, the radar is pretty quiet around here but if you look up to the north, this is what we are monitoring and what we're tracking. the chance of rain. we have got a frontal system that's also going to pass by and it's going to kick down our overnight lows into the 40s. and it's going to kick up the winds heading in towards monday and, also, tuesday. so let's talk about the hour-by-hour outlook. if you live north of the golden gate bridge, you're probably going to be the first to see it. near sonoma. although, it's not going to be much of a downpour. more like couple hundredths of

an inch. however, pushing through monday into tuesday, there is a chance that we could even see some light rain. maybe some drizzle for areas including the south bay. also, the santa cruz mountains. so we will take what we can get at this point. if you notice, we have also got that system passing through the sierras. so this is also going to help when it comes to some of those active wildfires burning in the area. as the north starts to push through in terms of the system, we will start to see the gusty conditions also kicking up. the good news, though, is that we are going to see high humidity levels which means the elevated-fire danger starts to go down thanks to higher-humidity levels. the conditions aren't expected to be as dry but it'll still be windy. gusting upwards of 40, 45-plus miles per hour, especially for the higher elevation areas. we stick with that cooling trend through tuesday and wednesday. and then, just looking out ahead at our weather pattern. so topping out only in the 70s for monday and tuesday. look what starts to happen into thursday, friday, and saturday. we get a ridge of high pressure

that rolls back around. and it bumps us up into the 90s but, hey, at least it'll feel somewhat like fall for the next couple of days around the bay area. that's for sure. raj, janelle. >> fall is here. >> it is. >> finally. >> thank you so much. if we could -- yeah, we could feel the gusty winds picking up right now. thanks so much. >> back here live at levi stadium. let's go downstairs to the locker room at the podium. 49ers' tight end, george kittle, who had that great catch on that what we thought was the game-winning drive. take a listen. >> um, if you mourn on it too long, it affects your next week and then you are a day behind. you can't really be a day behind on seattle seahawks because they are going to bring it because they just had a loss, too. so it's going to be two angry teams fighting it out. >> how he's grown as a player since he got here and what he brings to the table for y'all? >> i mean, deebo brings deebo to the offense. physical wide receiver. given the ball any way and he is going to do everything he can to be violent, be physical.

i love playing alongside of him. i think deebo's grown. i mean, he can -- he's not just out there running, you know, he -- he's added -- he can run a lot of different routes. he's doing a great job attacking the ball. that last third down was a hell of a play. and you got to have guys like that -- have to have guys make plays like that if you want to be -- be in these games. you know, against a really good opponent. so, you know, proud of the wide receivers, proud of the whole team really. just came up short. >> couple more. >> technical adjustments at halftime to be more productive in the second half. did you also have mental adjustments? seemed like you came -- you came out -- >> i mean, i think we have really good offense. we just got to get the ball rolling. i think we really struggled on third downs early and just couldn't get our momentum going. um, and, you know, that's all second half -- we just made a couple plays, made a couple plays. stayed on the field. gave our defense a break and that is a all it was. we finally got to go out there and play football when you have three to five-play drives, you can't really call the plays.

you can't run the game that you want to run and you end up having to take more shots than you really want to. >> what was your reaction to the way -- >> okay. george kittle on the stand, on the podium recapping tonight's heartbreaking loss. but now, turning it -- our attention to one and two seattle. the 9ers now 2-1 taking them on right here at home next sunday at levi stadium. >> we will also check back into the news studios with terry and jessica as we check on some news headlines, as well. from levi stadium, stay with us.

mirror as an offense and just what we can do better, how we could start faster. there was just -- it was one mistake here, one mistake there by guys and starting with myself. and if we eliminate, you know, just half of those, it'll lead to better football early. and we don't have to play from behind the eight ball like we were tonight. >> did you get the sense you guys were a little one dimensional early particularly when you couldn't get the run game going at all? >> a little bit. you know, we had, you know, we had ways of getting passes that were basically like runs in some -- some ways. but i think we just didn't get into a rhythm offensively, honestly. from the get-go, it was tough not converting some early-third downs. and just the possession i think was in their favor pretty heavy early on. you put your defense in a tough spot as it is and like i said, we were playing from behind the eight ball. we battled back there at the end but you don't want to be in that situation to start with. >> i know you focus on what you can control and everything like that. but human nature would suggest when you have a quarterback

situation where trey is rotating in. is that in the back of your mind at all? >> no. no, i got a lot of things going on in my mind out there. i mean, we got some nice packages with trey. it worked out really well tonight when we got him in there but no, can't. i am thinking of a million other things. can't really think about that. >> took away the outside zone. were they doing things in coverage that were -- were different or kind of chaling for you guys? >> they mixed it up a little bit. it wasn't anything we weren't ready for but they played a pretty good game. it's one of those bend don't break defenses. so we knew we were going to have to earn it-let the big plays. it was hard to come by tonight. but overall, other than -- other than the slow start, i thought we battled back in the second half. guys were playing -- playing hard. you saw a lot of fighting guys and that's what you want to see. >> alexander. was that -- >> all right. jimmy garoppolo at the podium there. janelle, you notice, they keep

asking hey what about trey lance? do you feel awkward? do you feel him over your shoulder? and every answer has been above board. >> right. he supports it when they bring him in and it makes a difference but they just couldn't overcome aaron rodgers. they were behind the eight ball like you said. >> jimmy g led down for that touchdown. and then, aaron rodgers, two times on that final drive, of course, hits devonte adams. one of the best receivers in all of football from palo alto high school. so what happened to that 9ers' defense down the end, down the stretch? well, it comes down to the secondary. and for that, we go to our colleague from nbc sports bay area, dante witner, about what the 9ers didn't do in that final minute. dante. >> thank you, raj. my three keys from the game was i have to put this onus on the secondary. they had three pass interferences. one from williams. one from emmanuel moseley. and one that was devastating. they also gave up too many big plays in the secondary.

one where i thought jimmy could have helped from the back side but he didn't. another one was to the rookie in the slot. too many times, the 49ers secondary just lined up and allowed aaron rodgers to read their mail before it was open. making it extremely easy for him to locate where he wanted to go with the football. and he completed the passes. again, another thing is the offense. not being able to run the football. we knew that they would have issues coming into the game with limited running backs. guys being injured. guys being hurt. and when deebo samuel and kyle is your number one rusher, you know it's going to be a long day. but jimmy garoppolo came through in a time of need in the fourth quarter but they just left too much time on the clock. and another thing is execution down the stretch. that's what ended up hurting this team. fred warner. the middle linebacker had an

opportunity to seal the game and cover two run in the middle of the field. just a little high for his outreached hand. devonte adams, because the football went down, was able to continue to drive which ultimately set up the final kick for mason crosby. it was a good game from both sides. but the 49ers just fell short. back to you, raj. >> okay. thank you, donte. very good analysis there. >> yes, it was. he broke it down, play by play. but it was a heartbreaker at the end. and normally, 30, 40 seconds left on the clock, you feel kind of secure but not when aaron rodgers is the quarterback. >> and for all the 9ers fans that are maybe souring on jimmy g, keep in mind what he just said. he had no running backs. >> right. >> they are hurt. i mean, kyle shanahan's signing guys he knew back in the day years ago. so it's -- it's -- it's really a good point to keep in mind the perspective of everything. >> how bad it is? yeah, their running back was

trey lance when he ran in for that one-yard touchdown. the running game is right there. >> we have been talking a lot with toy who also works here with us at nbc sports. we were talking about just across the nfl now in terms of black head coaches. that's been such a focus here. 32 teams, janelle. there is three. steelers, texans, and the miami dolphins. hear from tony. >> i had a gentleman who told me when i started my coaching career, i -- that was 25 -- i just come from the playing field. i had a full beard and he said if you want to be a coach, you need to shave your beard. and i -- i said, well, why -- why is that? well, you don't look like a coach. and i thought right away, okay, i can shave my beard and i may look a little differently. but i still may not look like a coach in -- in your opinion. and that -- that's what we were fighting. that's -- we had this perception of what a coach looked like, what a coach sounded like. and so many african-americans didn't fit that. well, here we are years later,

and i think we're still a little bit of a victim of that. what does a coach look like? what does he sound like? what vibes does he give off? instead of, you know, how good is this coach and what can he do? and it has been disappointing. um, david, only african-american coach hired last year. same thing in the previous-two cycles. it -- it's one out of five, one out of seven. and people say, well, you shouldn't worry about ratios or you wouldn't -- it's not a quota system. it -- it's not but you can't tell me there aren't four or five or six really, really qualified african-american assistants in this league. >> well, you can watch more of that conversation with tony and monte poole this thursday on our sister station, nbc sports bay area, after 49ers talk race in america a candid conversation. >> really valuable with those two gentlemen getting together talking about really the deeper issues in the national football league. here tonight at levi

stadium, you know it. 30-28. the packers in a heartbreaker for the 49ers. we're back in a moment.

you doing okay with those new spicy tiny tacos, jack? yeah, it's funny some of those people you see, they... they can't handle it at all right? no, they can't. that's not you. that's not me. no. try my new spicy tiny tacos starting at $3.50.

another live look at levi stadium where the 49ers lost a heartbreaker tonight, 30-28. but some positive news for you right now. all nfl teams are celebrating hispanic heritage month in a variety of ways. among them, this way. the 49ers employee makes artwork and signs celebrating the latinx community. that artwork displayed around levi stadium tonight. >> collaboration with marketing and graphic design team. they reached out to me to -- to help them come up with some hand-painted elements for -- to celebrate latinx heritage month. and so through that, i helped design a helmet that's on display in the 49ers' museum, as well as a custom-made football which will be given out during today's game to our latinx youth award. >> he also says he has a degree in fine arts.

currently, works in the 49ers' s.t.e.m. education program. >> during this hispanic heritage month, there is also a push to get more latino kids involved in s.t.e.m. today is the 22nd annual latinx engineering day at the explore torium in san francisco. all museum exhibits include bilingual s.t.e.m., hands-on activities for kids and teens as well as an engineering panel. the overall goal to show kids and their families that science and math can be fun and that it's not intimidating. >> well, it is hard to believe but halloween right around the corner. with the head of the cdc suggests your family do to celebrate safely. that's next. and later, we are going to head back out live to levi stadium. raj and janelle are going to join us with more 49ers' postgame coverage.

thousands of breast cancer survivors battling the disease gathered at san francisco zoo today where the susan g.kohmen held its annual fundraiser. survivors currently living with

breast cancer, friends and family, welcomed to participate in interactive elements throughout the zoo. last year, the walk was virtual and organizers say early detection, of course, is critical, especially many women put off going to the doctor turg the pandemic. >> trick or treating is okay to do this year with a couple of caveats. at least according to the cdc director. she says it's safe for children and their parents to go trick or treating if it's outdoors. she also recommends staying away from crowds and parties and she says trick or treating with a small number of people is okay. when we come back. raj and janelle going to rejoin us live from levi's.

welcome back to levi's stadium. the crowd is now in the parking lot heading home. and the crowd on the field is this guy. >> mowing the lawn. cleaning up. cleanup crew. >> he is the mvp. what a game we saw if you tuned in any part of this game, little -- little sluggish in the

first half for the 49ers but 30-28, the packers beat the 9ers. all right. so we have sunday night football here. >> on nbc. >> we just finished the tokyo olympics. >> on nbc. >> i know where you are going with this. what, four or five months from now, we have another olympics. >> right, in beijing and -- and we have the super bowl. that is a lot of work for a lot of people here. >> this is the first time in history that both the olympics and super bowl -- they are happening at the same time. once in a lifetime. i spoke with two olympians here today about that game. freestyle snowborder, from caramel. and then, of course, our gold medalist three time maggie stefans of danville who just came home from tokyo. i spoke to them at today's game. >> this is kind of the first time ever, and maybe ever in the history, that the olympics and the super bowl are going to be happening at the same time. so basically, the world's best athletes and the world's best football players are going to be competing at the same time. that's kind of crazy. that never really happens. >> yeah.

i think the more, you know, sporting events that we can use to show, you know, the resilience of these last two, three years of a world pandemic and sport unites people. you know? the olympics is definitely -- for me at least -- the greatest portrayal of world peace and the super bowl does that, as well. and so, to be able to just unite people from all over through sport is a pretty special opportunity. >> hopefully, this will be your third olympics so what are you looking forward to? i mean, you have the pandemic. hopefully, nothing will happen in beijing. but what do you look forward to? what's the best part of the olympics? >> i say opening and closing ceremonies are always superspecial. they really get you in the spirit for the games. but i'm really looking forward for my event. i mean, i know what to expect. it's going to be an amazing venue, an amazing half pipe. so i just want to show everyone what we're capable of and, yeah, like maggie said, it's -- it's a big stage for us so we want to portray the best. >> you guys are from northern california. there are obviously 49er fans. so can we get a go 49ers? >> go 49ers!

whoo! >> yeah. maggie stefans, three-time gold medalist. she is now relaxing and enjoying and celebrating with her friends and family cause they couldn't do that in tokyo, you know? they weren't allowed. and then, brittany -- yeah -- now getting ready to leave to switzerland next week to start training. >> i will do my tokyo to you in beijing. >> okay. talk about beijing. it's going to be cold and it's like 59 degrees right now and, raj, you have got your long johns on. >> just so you know, i am wearing my long johns here. >> oh, okay. oh, there it is. stylish. okay. that -- that look works for you, raj. that's a good look. >> we call it the long john camera. >> be careful, though. i don't know if you want to say cold around green bays and packers fans. to them, california is summer, right? but it is a little chilly out there guys and hey i volunteer to go with whoever goes to the

super bowl in l.a. i am in studio today. didn't get to go to the field. all right. 60 degrees right now in san jose. we are going to dip down into the 50s overnight and guess whether a? we are going to feel like fall for the next couple days thanks to a system that's going to bring some rain to the north bay. so dublin, we have got 57 degrees right now. san francisco, 62. overnight lows will dip down into the 50s. but by monday night into tuesday, we're talking 40s for overnight lows. so let's talk about the air quality because this has been an area of concern, of course, for the past couple of days. we have active wildfires burning but it's looking good right now even up through portions of the far northern region. that air quality advisory is set to expire for tomorrow. we got that marine layer it's going to push the remainder of smoke out of the area but we do have our mobile doppler radar, the only ones in the bay area that has it, ready to scans as that rain is expected to move in tomorrow. so let's talk about the timing of this storm and what we can expect from it. so we have got a frontal

boundary that's going to push through. also, expected to kick up the winds. temperatures will only top out in the 70s for tomorrow. but the best-rain chances are going to be for the north bay. however, looking at the timeline trend right now, it looks like a couple hundredths of an inch. anything helps, really. into monday evening and into tuesday, we might even get the chance of seeing some light rain in areas including the south bay. so i wish it was more rain. but again, we will take what we can get. but for now, enjoy the rest of your news and it was very nice hanging out with you two. send it back to you, raj and janelle. >> and yes, coming to the super bowl in l.a. with us. >> oh. >> called it. >> and i am going to be freezing in beijing. >> okay. don't go away. anthony flores is standing by. he is on the field. he's going to have the highlights in our postgame coverage. >> i see anthony over there.

dear ms, from day one you've tried to define me. but i never invited you in. it's my life and this is my journey. i've found a way to do things differently with ocrevus, an infusion treatment that's 2-times-a-year. for adults with relapsing or primary progressive forms of multiple sclerosis, ocrevus is proven effective in reducing relapses in rms and slowing disability progression in rms and ppms.

don't take ocrevus if you've had a life-threatening allergic reaction to it, or have hepatitis b. tell your doctor about vaccinations or if you've had hep b, as it could come back. a common side effect of ocrevus is infusion reactions, and some may require hospitalization. it can increase your risk of infections, which can be serious, and may decrease certain types of immunoglobulins. while pml was not reported in clinical trials, it could happen. an increased risk of cancer, including breast cancer, may exist. sorry, ms. you don't get to control every part of me ms can't own us. ask your doctor about two-times-a-year ocrevus. welcome back. i'm anthony flores live at levi

stadium. the 49ers lose for the first time this season in a heartbreaker to the green bay packers on sunday night football. but you know what? there was a lot of buzz and a lot of energy at levi's stadium. fans back for the first time in this stadium since the 2020 nfc championship game. the packers were moving the ball all over the yard in the first quarter. chico native, aaron rodgers, hits devonte adams, the pride of east palo alto for the one-yard score. 10-nothing packers, after one. now, down 17-zip, trey lance in on third and goal from the one with seconds remaining in the half. the rookie with his first-rushing touchdown to 17-7 packers at the break. fourth quarter, 9ers cut the lead down to three. he dives in for the score. it's 24-21. then, with the packers up six, under a minute to go, jimmy garoppolo hits kyle juszczyk for a 12-yard touchdown. it's the 9ers' first lead of the

game at 28-27 but they left too much time on the clock for aaron rodgers. he gets the packers into field-goal range and as time expires, mason crosby fills a 51-yard field goal. the packers beat the 49ers, 30-28. >> i mean, i think we got to play a lot better than we did. i mean, just some of the mistakes that we made, especially early in the game in the first half, especially on third down with some critical situations. i think what you guys saw there at the end just getting back into the game shows some of the players we have on our team. thought there was some great individual efforts of guys just making unbelievable plays that got us in and a chance to win that game but some of the mistakes that we made throughout the game, you don't win a lot of football doing that. that's what we got to clean up. >> let's head to vegas where the silver and black remained perfect on the season. the raiders taking on the dolphins after falling behind 14-nothing. derek carr connects with mr. reliable for the 12-yard score. vegas up 19-14 after three. the raiders looked in control

but then the dolphins rattled off 11-straight points. the two-point conversion was good. the game goes to bonus ball. both teams exchanged field goals in the overtime. then, as time expires, daniel carlson drills the game winner from 22 yards out. the raiders improve to 3-0. they beat the dolphins, 31-28. all right. now, to baseball. the giants are inching closer to their first division title since 2012. the giants wrapping up their final road trip of the regular season in colorado today with a score tied at 2 in the ninth. rips a single to right. steven duggar scores giving the giants their 3-2 lead but wait, there's more. brandon crawford strokes the deep three. the giants played four runs in the ninth. they beat the rockies, 6-2. the giants lead the dodgers by two games with six to play. in oakland, the a's still fighting to keep their wildcard hopes alive. taking on the astros down 3-1.

the a's rally to tie it in the 7th. mark reaches on the infield single. sky bolt. that is a great name. he scores. game tied at 3. then, in the bottom of the ninth, it's cana, again. this time, he singles to left. sean murphy scores the winning run. the a's walk it off against the astros. your final, 4-3. so the a's, they are three back of that second wildcard spot with only six games to play. so, raj and janelle, it's going to be a very exciting upcoming week for the a's and the giants. as for the 49ers, you heard george kittle earlier say it's back to work. they got to prepare for seattle next sunday. guys, back to you. >> it is back to work. thank you, anthony, from the corner of the end zone over there. anthony flores joining us here at levi stadium. 9ers and seaha next week. we got the raiders and chargers next week. giants, a's, oh yeah, and the

warriors. >> training camps. lot going on. a lot of bay area sports action. but what a night it has been. i mean, the 9ers started off slow and we thought they would come back, especially in the last two minutes of this game with this final drive. >> if you are a 9ers fan, this -- this was okay. you can watch this part of it but it's that game-winning field goal that really crushed it but it was really cool to see close to 70,000 fans back here enjoying this night and having a great time. >> and they will be back tomorrow when the 9ers host seattle. seattle 1-2. 9ers, now 2-1. they are division rivals and they will face off next week here at levi's. >> that's going to do it for all of us. you can see our trusted crew all working behind the scenes. >> thank you! >> thanks for joining us. we will see you at 11:00. >> bye.

she was so alive to hear that news, and realizing that it's amber, how could that be her life was just beginning. >> amber made friends for life >> there was no trying with our friendship it just was. >> but that life didn't last long >> amber is on the floor -- face down, and she has a plastic bag wrapped around her head. >> the till's open, the drawer's open most people that rob a store don't kill anybody >> my whole world just died right there. >> for months the
