nick bosa said, quote, he's got some dog in him, i like it. realistically, pop, how far can this guy lead you. >> i don't know. >> he looked good today. >> he's looked good since he's been here a four-year starter. he's played a lot of football. he's won a lot of football. won 30 games here. he missed some throws. i thought the drive right before halftime and the ultimate touchdown pass to mccaffrey was huge. here he goes to tyler croft. he gets heated up. the play after he missed brandon aiyuk, he hit george kittel. good on third down look at him rolling to his left here. can he play. he's not a big quarterback at 6'1", what he is, is decisive on where to go with the football

and typically, he is very accurate. those two elements can win football game, with the running game and the defense. >> with the defense they have here, right? a lot can happen. ball carrier of the game presented by manscaped. the official below-the-waist grooming partner, trusted by 7 million men. christian mccaffrey is our ball carrier of the game. 66 rushing yards. 80 receiving yards plus a touchdown. has the papa signed off? >> are you kidding me? he's dynamite. >> how much difference has he made? >> he's a tremendous player. look at him feel the soft spot. here's the play of the game. look at him cut back right away on a toss sweep that's supposed to go right, he immediately cuts it back left. 30 yards on that run. that gets you into robbie gold field goal range. there were a lot of good plays. that was the one that put the

game away. look at the vision. toss sweep going right. hits the right foot. he's going back left. >> you know who else could have been our ball carrier of the game? deebo. and he's better now that christian's here. >> i wasn't sure even as friday or saturday. i didn't think he was going to play with that deep thigh bruise. and he played deebo style today. >> still in first place, the 49ers, but the road tougher now with a backup quarterback. if you runun a small b busin, you u need the m most from every investmentnt. thatat's why comomcast busins gigives you momore. momore innovatation... with our n new gig-spepeed wi, plusus unlimiteded data.

right now in this special edition of nbc bay area news. still coming down in parts of the bay area. tracking another round of showers, what it means for your morning commute, plus, another chance at hall of fame hopes shattered. barry bonds gets passed up again in the latest vote for the hall of fame class of the.

class. and this one really hurts. jimmy g is hurt. a major blow to the team. thanks for joining us on this special edition of nbc bay area news. i'm terry mcsweeney, gia vang has the night off. the 49ers have lost jimmy garoppalo to a season-ending foot injury. that poor guy. you see that foot breaking like that. and now the future of the 49ers, what's going to happen? >> there were two moments in that game where the stadium went quiet. on the first offensive play for the miami dolphins, and then when fans realized jimmy was hurt and being carted off the field. they said ah-oh, what are we going to do now. if the 49ers are going to win

it, they are going to have to do it without jimmy. here's where it happened. on the 49ers' first drive of the game on third and six. he is sacked by jerome baker and jalen phillips. he hurts his foot on the play. after being examined on the sideline, he was carted to the locker room. losing jimmy g is a huge loss for a team that is considered a super bowl contender. >> i mean, just hearing it is pretty crushing. we know what jimmy's been through, how hard he's worked through this. i got the news in the second quarter. it was a really cool game as a team and all the stuff that went on throughout the game, to overcome some things. it was such a special win. but mixed emotions hearing about jimmy. i told the guys right after the game.

i know that gave them mixed emotions too. we'll do our best to overcome this. >> brock purdy came in and led the 49ers to victory. >> another sports story here. hall of fame dreams dashed again. bay area baseball legend barry bonds rejected in the latest class. a live look at oracle park where the home run king played. today's vote was through the contemporary baseball committee. many thought it would give bonds a better chance. he need 12 out of 16 votes. he got less than four. seven other former players were on the ballot. only one voted in. that was unanimously, fred mcgriff, he hit 493 career home runs. the rain was coming down when we

were outside oracle park tonight. and there could be more as we head into the workweek. rob mayeda tracking it all for us. >> we've been watching some of the shower through the day. right now by definition, this is what an isolated shower looks like, moving past palo alto, heading up toward fremont and eventually toward the sunol grade. not a lot showing up on radar, but that will likely change as we head into your morning commute and give you a closer look. look at all these lightning strikes showing up offshore. that's what's going to be moving over the bay area as we move throughout morning commute. notice how the showers are expected to be more widespread, especially from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. moving to the north bay, crossing over the santa cruz mountains, which means you could see some brief down pours at times. fast moving, but it could have a

high impact depending on which roadways you're on. most of the east bay roads seeing the showers and more scattered showers as we move into monday afternoon, and it's going to be this way for a while. ongoing through about tuesday, then patchy frost setting up again for inland valleys. and then starting thursday, all the way through next weekend, daily chances of rain. we'll see how much rain that means for your seven-day forecast and the timing of those storms ahead coming up in a few minutes. the rain causing some headaches along highway 1 near big sur. this rock slide is still there. both lanes are closed. cal trans had hoped to clear it and reopen the road today, but it's still closed. and cal trans isn't sure when it will reopen. this rain means lots of snow up

in the sierra, and that means thousands of people hitting the slopes. we'll go to heavenly and check out the mountains. president biden attended the kennedy center honors which recognizes lifetime akmeemt. a few notable attendees, house speaker nancy pelosi with her husband paul, yes. it's his first public appearance since he was attacked in their san francisco home. he's got the black hat on. so he is back, healthy enough to be out tonight. last month, paul pelosi was beaten on his head with a hammer. police arrested david depape for the attack. he has pled not guilty to the charges. as for the honorees, the president applauded the nominees. they are george klein clooney, amy grant, gladys knight and members of u2. prices at the pump continue

to fall. they could fall under $4 a gallon in the coming weeks. here's a look at bay area averages today according to aaa. san jose $4.80 for a gallon of regular, down 75 cents from this time last month. oakland is down 73 cents. and in san francisco, prices are still the highest there. $4.88. but, that's down 77 cents from last month. prices are dropping, but some are concerned they'll spike again like they did earlier this year. governor newsom is trying to prevent that from happening. tomorrow he is holding a special session with lawmakers to talk specifically about gas prices. >> reporter: gas prices under $4.50 a gallon. what will governor newsom do?

>> i was sprending like a hundred bucks on a little bmw. and i'm spending like 60 bucks. >> reporter: he says the lower prices have had a big impact. >> i love it. now i can travel and not spend a lot of money. >> reporter: this year. californians have paid some of the highest prices in the country. an average of $1.50 above other states. while some states voted to suspend gas taxes, california did not. now governor newsom will look at other ways to lower prices. one idea being discussed, potentially penalizing oil companies to prevent price gouging. >> it would be a penalty on the oil companies that would only be dedicated back toward rebates toward consumers, but it could be something that forcess them o

hahave to mododulate the price the pump and come down to a reasonable fair market value. >> reporter: a spokesperson for the trade association representing the five biggest oil companies in the western united states called monday's special session a political stunt but t that the asocial is open to a discussion. >> until we get to the point where that can handle what we need in the state, you know, the affordable reliable energy that we provide has to be part of the mix. so demonizing our industry really does no good. >> reporter: tomorrow the governor is also asking for bills to increase transparency and regulatory oversight of the industry to evaluate pricing and supply shortages, in an effort to stop gas prices from driving up. marianne favro, nbc bay area news. speaking of which, opec plus

is sticking to its original plan of reducing production. it says it will not change plans to reduce oil production by 2 million barrels a day until the end of next year. this comes as the eu is planning to ban all imports of russian seaborne oil. the kremlin previously warned that any attempt to put a price cap on russian oil will cause more harm than good. oil prices have fallen to below $90 per barrel. we're learning more about the truck driver killed on 880. the truck driver was contracted to deliver mail for the postal service. it happened early yesterday morning. two cars racing down the freeway. one car hit the truck, rolled over and caught fire. the driver of the car that caused the crash was picked up

in another car and sped away. so far no arrests in that case. tense moments at a lowe's store in san francisco. the garage at the store caught fire this afternoon. firefighters say construction material being stored in the garage is what burned. no cars damaged, neither was the building. >> they had everyone evacuated out of the building. ing this is so important. if the fire were to progress, we have to direct attention to personnel to doing that task. >> they were able to get it under control in about 20 minutes. still ahead, it has people buzzing that maybe, maybe banksy has hit the north bay. the mural that may be the artist's latest work. and more trouble for

ticketmaster. the action swifties are now taking against the company. and at this hour, still seeing a few scattered showers around the bay area. we're expecting more with the potential of thunderstorms on into monday and tuesday. the hour-by-hour timeline when we come right back. and after the gray and dismal storm, oh, yeah. here come as rainbow, this video taken in mountain view. a beautiful sight as things cleared up today. gorgeous. we're back in a moment.

♪mumusic playining♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ nonothing brinings the pacak togegether like a t trip to great t wolf lodgege. now openen in northehern californiaia. this has a lot of people talking. one of the world's most notorious street artists may have stopped in a small north bay town. check it out. an iconic image after little girl holding a red balloon. it showed up on the side of a masonic lodge in windsor. even bears the artist's banksy

signature. it's the kind of unexpected move the mysterious artist is known for. >> i was so excited and telling my daughter about this and wanting to get a picture with it and trying to explain to her how important and special it is, that it's actually unique. >> i love the fact that someone did this. i think it's so clever t's great. >> but you question were it's real. >> well, we have reached out to the artist about his response about the authenticity but haven't heard back. a banksy mural in ukraine was almost stolen. last month he spray painted a woman in a gas mask. police are guarding the artwork after a graup tried to remove the wall and several people were arrested. swifties are taking ticketmaster to court. they are suing after the ticket

debacle last month. the lawsuit cites the ticket sale disaster on november 15 and 16. i'm thinking some of our viewers know all about this. the site crashed, causing ticketmaster to can tell the public ticket sales due to insufficient remaining ticket inventory. the lawsuit claims they exclusively forced them to use their site knowing there would not be enough inventory for the general ticket sale. celebrating diversity in art and culture wrapped up a weekend of free admission at 21 san francisco museums. it was thanks to a generous donation from anonymous donors. more than 60,000 tickets were reserved. you can see plenty of people were there. check it out, the exhibition. >> there were many people in the bay area who thought, ah, i want to go see the asian art museum,

but what's my motivation? this free weekend, that's the motivation, an opportunity to come and see it, get a taste, and we know that they will love it. they're going to come back. >> many of the city's museums do offer free admission once a month. it depends on the museum. but the free days often fall on the first sunday or tuesday of the month. call ahead and find out if the museum you're interested in has a free day. one of the biggest landmarks, and we mean that literally, turns 50. the trans america period. tuesday marks the 850-foot skyscraper's golden adversary. it was the tallest building in the city at the time. sometimes it's one of the buildings you can see peeking through the thick fog. it is going to get a big present, a $400 million makeover. i know. $400 million.

they are paying that much to redesign the interior of the building. returning to our weather coverage. rain in the bay area means this in the mountains. so many people headed up to the resorts up there, including heavenly, the snow was coming down. some say they're not quite used to seeing this much snow. >> we are kind of, like, you know, let's make the most of it and experience some winter. and we're really experiencing it to the full extent right now. >> that's a fact. heavenly was able to open early this season back in mid november. 41 trails are open right now. and however inconvenient the rain may be making your life, we need it, and it's beautiful to see it up there. >> and december weather living up to december, expectations. everyone seems shocked. but it's supposed to. >> it's normal. >> the rain here, the showers

during the day today and your seven-day forecast looking about like december. it's a nice night out in san jose. christmas in the park downtow, 52. overnight temperatures will drop back into the 30s. that will include san jose. right now, 51 degrees in dublin. over to san rafael, 48 degrees. right now 52 in san francisco. we're expecting the bands of showers to head right on through. you may be driving without any rain and drive right into a downpour for five to ten minutes and drive out of it. that's likely the way the morning commute will go. temperatures into the 40s. moving forward, there is a

chance we could see isolated thunderstorms. the best chance near the coast, probably up toward the north bay and solano county inland. right now there's not a whole lot to see on the radar. a little shower activity near fremont. but offshore, things are interesting. lightning strikes here, too. this is the unsettled weather that's going to be heading our way for the morning commute right there at 7:00 a.m. you see how that band passes through the bay area. a chance of these roaming downpours off and on at times for the morning commute, might catch a break as we head through the afternoon. but tuesday morning, more of these showers of about the system starts to move out. over the next two days, these areas in green covering most of the bay area, a quarter to half inch of rain spread out over the next 48 hours. for the sierra, you saw the snow there. another foot of snow coming down between now and about 5:00 on tuesday. so notice the progression of our morning temperatures, low 30s,

patchy frost. and also patchy fog, i think, setting up for the valleys. and then the pattern gets active. look at that, thursday into friday, saturday into sunday. more monday into tuesday. a very seven-day forecast that looks a lot like december. driest day probably wednesday into thursday morning. then every 36 hours we'll see storm systems. and again, the following monday and tuesday. more sierra snow, more bay area rain. >> making a dent in that drought. coming up, paying it forward this holiday season. san francisco small businesses coming together to help kids in need.

well, the holiday season has arrived. a lot of people will be putting

gifts under the tree, but you don't want them to go up in smoke. so firefighters are making the annual reminder, avoid having a tree that is too dry. they become a fire danger. firefighters in new york did this. giving a demonstration of how quickly a dried-out christmas tree can burn. in addition to adding a fresh cut to the bottom of the tree, keep a close eye on lights and decorations. >> many times we're using extension cords, holiday lights, holiday decorations. make sure that the devices and those cords are not frayed, not damaged. >> another tip is to look for a freshly-cut tree by checking the leaves. make sure they aren't too drive. small local businesses in san francisco's mission district are paying it forward. today they hosted a toy drive for kids in the community. businesses partnered with the street violence intervention program to host the second annual event. looks like a party to me. more than 500 presents were

given out to kids, infants and teenagers. there was food, entertainment and of course the man himself, santa claus. >> we have been blessed to help those who need a little boost. giving gifts, food, great music, great people. the weather was on our side. the fire department supported us. we're having a great time. the only complaint is that santa's uber driver was little late. >> the fission in the mission. the holiday spirit in full effect along the coast for the holly jolly palooza. there was music, art, food and fun to help people ring in the holidays. there were free bands, food trucks, cocktail vendors, and of course santa. organizers hope to make this a yearly event.

>> really important to support small businesses, and i also think it's really important to bring the community together and get some holiday spirit going. it's been a rough year for a lot of people. >> in case you're wondering what santa was drinking, this time of year he sticks to hot chocolate with marshmallows. i know the guy. the event was free, but everyone was encouraged to bring a toy or book to donate to toys for tots. we've put together a list of all the local holiday events going on. you can find it on our website, nbcbayarea.com. still ahead on this special edition of nbc bay area news. a new problem and a lucrative piece of land. we investigate the delayed cleanup of

good evening. thanks for being with us on this special edition of nbc bay area

news. i'm terry mcsweeney, gia has the night off. and we investigate a new hitch in the battle of cleaning up radiation. levels are known where homes are set to be built. but some say the results can't be trusted. jaxon van derbeken has the exclusive story. >> reporter: this 40-acre piece of land behind me is to become the center piece of the development of the hunter's point naval shipyard, parcel g where a top-secret nuclear lab once stood. >> i would not, these residents have anybody living out here. >> reporter: environmental activist ray tompkins served on an advisory panel for the cleanup project in 2011 when the navy declared no further radiological action was needed on parcel g. >> we were skeptical on the

methodology and what was being presented, that they didn't give us all the data, they're still working on it. >> reporter: but after whistle-blowers accused the soil-testing company of faking some of the result, the epa called 97% of the survey units into question. that was in late 2017. the testing firm tetra tech is now being sued bit u.s. government. it maintains it did nothing wrong and stands by its results. still the navy ordered more testing which last year picked up higher than allowed levels of strontium 90. >> it's a bone-seeking radioactive chemical. and once it gets into the bone, it stays there and turns over very slowly. and continues to give off radioactivity. >> reporter: that can cause cancer, says james dahlgren, a medical doctor who specializes

in environmental toxicology. the strontium was in the paint. and it could be left around here where radioactive waste was diluted and poured down sinks and also nearby worships were returning from the pacific and sandblasted. but the levels were questioned from the retesting it ordered, saying it planned to improve the process to improve quality. and a warning reads as if the navy is suppressing data results it doesn't like in regards to stropt yum 90 data. still, one year later, the navy dismissed the strontium levels as unreliable. >> everybody who's reviewed this data can agree that that's not a reliable result, that there's too much noise. >> reporter: liz roddy then

presented this chart showing no hotspots in parcel g of the old shipyard. >> it's completely erroneous and false. it is offensive to me scientifically. >> reporter: dr. doll grens is referring to dozens of points on the navy's new chart that shows strontium 90 levels below zero. >> to have a negative figure on their data for strontium 90. you can't have it. period. it's impossible. and any data that says that, you must reject it, if you have any integrity. >> reporter: both tompkins and doll grn again agree that should trigger an outside review. they say there's no risk to public health from what's been detected. the epa will only say any final determination on stropt yum

levels will be based on fully validated test results. >> this is g. >> reporter: for activists like tompkins, there is no time to waste. >> that's the damage that is being done and will be done in the future unless appropriate measurements are taken now. >> if you have a story for jaxson or anyone in our investigative united states, unit. give us a call. the city started the tenderloin center as an initiative to get more resources to addicts, the unhoused and people who suffer from mental illness. but that center closed today mayor breed says it didn't get as many people into long-term services as hoped. there will be a station set up

in a plaza for a week. developing overseas, iranian state media report iran's attorney general says the morality police will be abolished. it comes 80 days after an uprising began in iran, triggers protests worldwide. demonstrations continued today, including this one in san francisco. demonstrators gathered in union square and set up a photo exhibit in honor of people they call fallen heroes of the iran uprising. weeks of protest were sparked by the death of mahsa amini. they are still protesting her death. but they say the movement has been growing for decades. >> we want freedom in all aspects, for women to be able to hold position, be in government, be judges. they can study whatever they want. they can sing. they can ride this bikes. they can, you know, go out of

the country without their fathers or husbands' permission. those are the basic human rights that the women of iran are deprived of. >> organizers say the uprising in iran deserves support, including from elected leaders. and coming up, no more pony rides a the a popular stable in l.a.'s griffith park. the controversy behind the decision to shut down after more than seven decades. also the reason researchers are sounding the alarm with a large dieoff of one of the most unusual species of fish.

a historic tradition in l.a. is getting shut down. the decision has many families upset but animal activists are cheering. after 74 years in business, the

griffith park pony rides are coming to an end. families can't believe they're ending. but animal rights activists have been protesting these pony rides for more than a year, accusing the ponies of being mistreated on the owner's watch. >> we need to not have pony rides, because it's teaching children the wrong lesson, that these ponies are carnival equipment, and they're not. >> the owner of the park denies the accusation. the inspection report found working conditions to be satisfactory, but the report did say there were many legal issues and medical violations that needed to be addressed. it's not clear if the report had anything to do with the decision to end the pony rides. the owner says he's looking for new homes for the moneys. last summer, the bay area saw a large and sudden dieoff of fish blamed on an algae broom

bloom known as red tide. >> people don't realize when they're looking at them that they're looking at animals that have been around as long as dinosaurs. >> reporter: if you want to get a good look at sturgeon, the easiest way is to the aquarium. >> they are lumbering beauties. >> reporter: where beauty may be in the eye of the beholder. >> a face that only a mother could love. >> reporter: a face that's been around since the time of the dinosaurs. here at the aquarium they do get plenty of love. >> we are keeping a close eye on the water quality as we do 365 days a year. >> reporter: but out in the bay water quality became an issue as an algal bloom killed many species, including sturgeon. >> fear that biologists have right now is that we can't fully quantify the a mortality.

>> reporter: the state tallied more than 600 sturgeon car carcasss. >> we know hundreds died, but it could be more like thousands. >> reporter: although sturgeon have been around many thousands of years, they face challenges. they don't reproduce until late in life and don't spawn every year. white sturgeon are in decline but green sturgeon are listed as threatened. >> it puts them closer and closer to extinction. >> reporter: environmental watchdog san francisco gatekeeper showed these red tides and blame the algal bloom on releases from sewage plants and drought and rising temperatures. >> they are advocating for stronger regulating from treatment plants. that's the root cause of the

problem. >> unfortunately, these things are going to continue to happen because we have continued drought. >> reporter: they are also urging the state to reconsider current policies. >> it's to switch maybe from a harvest fishery to catch and release fishery. we're worried that the large mortality event is going to cause the population to decline faster than what it her was. >> reporter: sturgeon can live more than 100 years, growing up to six feet, spending their time in both fresh and saltwater. the recent dieoff has their fans hoping these ultimate survivors can survive some more. joe risoto jr. >> they're swimming dinosaurs. >> reporter: nbc bay area news. >> we've had rain this weekend. more to come. rob mayeda has it all now. >> at least for the moment about as dry as it's been all weekend long, but it's not likely to stay that way. you see more showers offshore and potential thunderstorms in

well, this week all eyes will be on georgia, the state's contentious senate runoff will be decided. they've already set new records for early voting in the contest between rafael warnock and herschel walker. more than 1.85 million georgiaens have voted early, and that includes some who did not turn out for the general election. democrats are outpacing republicans by a margin of 52-39%. lady luck gets the final vote to break a tie. andrew butt and cesar cepeda are tied, dead tied. according to a resolution, in the event of a tie, they place

the names into an unmarked envelope and the race will be decided by drawing the envelope. thursday is the last day for county election officials to certify results. they must send a complete copy of the results to the secretary of state by friday. the following friday, december 16, secretary of state will officially certify and post the results online. that is wild that they're leaving a city council seat up to a draw. >> and who gets to do the draw? >> right. both sides have a candidate in mind. >> i believe so. look at that behind us, it is a gorgeous night. >> it is. we had a soggy saturday. we'll probably see more of that as we head into monday and tuesday. more of the combination we had today. we'll likely see widespread showers and potentially a slight chance of thundershowers. we'll take a look at that on the satellite in a moment.

right now it's very nice to be outside. only 52 degree, not too cold in san jose. similar temperature, exactly the same, 52 currently in san francisco. as we move forward into tomorrow morning we begin the day in the 40s, not too cold, as we've got the clouds, scattered showers, we'll have to watch for the chance for these roaming downpours. as we head to noon, sunshine, showers tapering off there's a chance we could have isolated thunderstorms, even though the radar right now is pretty quiet. what has our attention is what's offshore here along the north coast. that will continue to move southward. you notice how things pick up. 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m. and right into the sunshine at times, a few isolated showers.

if you look at the forecast, the upper half of the low pressure drops to the south. as we head into tuesday evening. if you want to find the driest part of the forecast, looks like tuesday night into wednesday, it sets us up for chilly morning, and beginning thursday evening into friday, the first of three rain chances ahead. thursday night into friday comes round one. notice the path of these storms, cold which could mean sierra snow. and then there's more in the forecast as we head into the next seven to ten days. every two to three days we have rain chances coming in. want to bring you up to date on the bay area rain totals. now take a look at the expectations of the next seven days of rainfall. in whoa. >> what you see there on the map would be the missing three to four inches of rain for places like santa rosa. this is an encouraging forecast.

if everything pans out we could be caught up on the deficits possibly as early as this time next weekend which could mean showers around for the next 49ers game as we head toward next weekend as well. we'll it inch to watch the timing as we go. 49er fans went through every emotion possible on the field, off the field. >> there was despair early, then okay, okay, this can happen. we'll see. a pretty good day taking over for the injured jimmy garoppalo. what brock purdy is saying about his performance in leading the niners to a big win over the dolphins. sports is next.

hey! if wewe want to build ththe future,, we'r're going toto need s some thingsgs. like a a high-speeeed inteternet connenection that can t turn my ideas intoto reality.. lilike the skikills to becece ththe world's s most powewerful coderer. way momore space to collaboborate. throrough projecect up, comcast t is commmmitting $1b1b to opepen doors fofor ththe next geneneration to buildld a future e of ununlimited popossibilitiei.

welcome back. i'm anthony flores. the 49ers have lost their

starting quarterback to a season-ending injury. first it was trey lance, now jimmy garoppalo. jimmy g was hurt in the niners' first drive of the game. garoppalo is sacked by jerome baker and jailen phillips. he's hurt. he hurts his left foot on the play right there. can you see that. that's not good. after being examined, he was carted from the sideline to the locker room. he will have season-ending surgery in the coming days. this is a huge blow for a niners team that is really one of the hottest teams in the nfl right now. >> you always hurt for guys with injuries. when it's a quarterback for your team it affect it is more. it affects guys a little more. you look at it as the way we're built to win. jimmy's a hell of a player, and like i said last week, we were so fortunate to have him here. but we need everybody. we got to make sure to step it up in all these areas not having jimmy. >> you can hear the emotion in his voice. now to the game.

it was a reunion for kyle shanahan and his long-time assistant mike mcdaniel who is now the head coach of the dolphins. that's the first play of the game. another former 49er takes the pass and races 75 yards for the touchdown. the stadium was quiet at that point. okay. after the garoppalo injury, rookie brock purdy comes in. the seventh round draft pick out of iowa state. the defense gave up two big plays, but other than that, they played lights out. the 49ers make it five in a row beating the dolphins 33-17 based on a good backup quarterback.

>> you got to roll, and you got to find ways to win. just because we won doesn't mean i'm on cloud nine and this and that. i want to get better, and i have to, moving forward. >> hell of a job by brock stepping up. he did a real good job today. we'll do our best to overcome this. >> now to baseball. a swing and a miss for baseball's all-time home run king, barry bonds is not going into the hall of fame at least this year. the giants' legend failed to get the needed votes by a special committee. laura britt and alex palavich have more whoon this mines for his chances of maybe being a hall-of-famer. >> it did not bring good news for barry bonds. he did not receive enough votes to make it into cooperstown. >> he had to wait ten years on the writers ballot and never got

close. fred mcgriff the only person who got in today. >> what are the chances that barry bonds has in the future to make it into cooperstown? >> i think he's probably pretty disappointed today, especially when he saw that he was fewer than four. they don't announce how many you got if it's below that threshold. he needs 12 out of 16 and didn't even get to four. sometimes the former players, the former executives, they are harsher to guy whose had p.e.d. connections than even the writers were. >> he will have more opportunities when the committee continues to meet. the wait continues for him to make it into the hall of fame. anthony, back to you. to the ice. the sharks on the road in buffalo. great start for san jose. kevin labanc will cash it in.

then, the sabres would score five unanswered goals. buffalo goes on to beat san jose. your final, 6-3. the sharks have now lost six of their last seven games. quickly, we'll get to barry, pavlovic said it's generational. in three year, there will be a different group of people voting on this. they might get some of the older people out. as for the 49ers, brock purdy will see if he can keep it going. he looked pretty good today. >> and the 49ers signed josh johnson. johnson. >> he's your qb
