smith, 22, of 31 254 yards as the seahawks took care of the cardinals 16 to 6. and saquon barkley over 300 total yards as the rams fall to five and six. philly with a 37 to 20 win. so the nfc west standings look like this. seattle and arizona are six and five. the rams are five and six because of the tiebreaker. donte whitner any way you slice it the 49ers right now in last place in the nfc west. now that conference and the nfc west is so tight they could still win that conference. but right now this is the second time this season they've dropped two games in a row. absolutely. and they haven't won two consecutive games all season long. and they're only 1 in 3 in the division right now. they

have a game with the la rams remaining and the arizona cardinals the last game of the season. so they're going to have to go two and zero in those remaining conference games. and we're accustomed to seeing the nfc west pretty strong. we're not used to seeing teams at this point in the season six and five and five and six. so the best thing about it is everybody in the division is struggling. and if the 49ers can find a way to put a streak of wins together, they could be right there at the top of the division in a couple of weeks. so there's really no need to panic. but you really are leaving yourself zero margin for error, right? and the way they're playing right now, if they got into the playoffs, there's no one that's looking at them and going, oh, the niners are dangerous right now, right. because they are not playing their best football. yeah they're not playing their best football. but when you have the type of personnel that they have on any given sunday, anything can happen. you can have christian mccaffrey, george kittle, deebo samuel go off for a career game, not to mention jauan jennings or nick bosa two, three, four sacks. it's just

about getting into the dance. once you get into the dance, anything can happen. give me some specifics, dante, of what scares you the most about maybe the buffalo bills, who have won six straight games. they score 29.1 points per game. that's third in the nfl. their defense allows only 19.5. that's seven best. they beat kc last week. we mentioned that coming off a bye. and you're playing them in buffalo. what's the hardest part about playing this team josh allen. his ability to move inside outside the pocket make every throw tremendously strong arm. he has a chip on his shoulder to where he won't allow this buffalo bills team to lose. and he looks like he's destined to win the mvp award. and also take this buffalo bills team to the super bowl. so when you have a player with that type of competitive nature, it's hard to match that sustain and finish on a guy like josh allen. so if anything, josh allen really scares me. they beat kansas city

already. they're plus 14 on turnovers. they're always around the football. they play very hard. and oh by the way we don't know what the weather could be. it could be freezing in buffalo. could be snowing. it was okay today. it was somewhat mild in lambeau field. but the weather could also play a factor. well, tell me about it. i played five years in buffalo, right. and that turf gets hard. those fans get loud. that wind starts flowing throughout the stadium. and those buffalo bills players, they practice outside a lot. so they are accustomed to the bad weather. the 49ers who have perfect days pretty much all year round in santa clara. it could be a detriment, but this is a must win game on the road. we're really going to see what the 49ers are about. did you consider it? i know it was your home field, but did you consider buffalo one of the toughest places to play for a visitor, do you think? no, we pretty much felt like we were going to lose every game we played when i was there. we never beat the buffalo. i mean, we never beat the new england patriots and tom brady. i think it was a full

sweep in five years. so no, no, no, it wasn't really of an advantage for us then. but it's definitely an advantage for them now. next sunday it will be the marquee game. it will be the buffalo bills and the 49ers and 49ers pre game live will come to you sunday at 4 p.m. and then post game live with dante and carlos and rod immediately following the game on nbc sports bay area. when we come back, some wacky finishes in the nfl, some that did affect the 49ers we'll take a look at those and much preview of the news, which is up next. here's gia. hey guys, coming up in just a few minutes. we're tracking more rain headed our way. we've got the latest timeline and the impact it could have on your holiday travel plans. also, a new warning from health leaders as the bird flu outbreak grows. why you may need to check milk cartons. plus making sure small black owned businesses get a bigger piece of the pie this holiday season. meet two women finding a unique way to move oakland forward. those stories and more minutes away

you know that is a big rivalry. 30s left in the game. commanders down 2720. jayden daniels, terry mclaurin. 86 yards on the touchdown pass to. wait a minute. the washington commanders might come back and win dallas week. all right we're going for it. the ensuing p.a.t. this to tie it up. whoa! shakes left. cowboys would end up winning this one 3426 kansas city chiefs carolina. 50s left in the game. chiefs ball with the game tied at 27. patrick mahomes scrambles for a 33 yard run to put the chiefs into field goal range. a few plays later, spencer schroeder from 31 yards out. the chiefs win some close games, but they win the close games. chiefs win 3027. vikings in chicago, taking on the bears. 22 seconds left in the game. bears down 2724. cairo santos attempts the onside kick. bears

recover. a few plays later, santos makes the 48 yard field goal. we're going into overtime. and after the bears failed to score on their first possession of overtime, john parker romo 29 yard game winning field goal. the vikings are winners 30 to 27. dante, i'll give you the final word. the 49ers win in buffalo. if what happens if they handle adversity, if they get their star players back and if they go in there like this is the season on the line, they can't come out victorious. all right. for donte whitner i'm dave feldman. thanks for watching sports sunday presented by

news. the bay area bracing for more rain. timing out when it's expected to arrive in the areas that will be hit the hardest. plus, a family finds out their loved one died years after their death. a massive mix up at the medical examiner's office and how the family found out. an east bay business owner is helping move oakland forward. the market highlighting black owned businesses and its impact on the community. good evening. another round of rain is heading towards the bay area. our nbc bay area storm ranger is

scanning on san bruno mountain right there and you can see the radar. the storm is moving towards the coast right now. that green. take a live look from san rafael to san jose. not a lot of raindrops out there yet. it's going to change soon. let's check in with meteorologist rob mayeda to find out when it's getting here. yeah. likely to change just in time for the morning commute, as you see. stormranger over my shoulder. it got a power rinse last week around this time as very heavy rain came down. but right now, right there from san bruno mountain, you can see it does have a pretty good viewpoint on the showers, which have been moving south to north across marin county. and tonight we've seen some thunderstorms off the mendocino county coast. but it's this line of rain that's off to our south. the next atmospheric river boost that this time around will be aimed on the central coast. so the rainfall projections, unlike a week ago, are likely to be higher just to our south. and you can see it there on the map between now and tuesday. those are the type of rain totals. the precipitation in the southern sierra that we had aimed in on the north bay about a week ago.

so for the bay area, it looks like this round we'll see those top rain totals from the santa cruz mountains and parts of the south bay getting started tomorrow morning with a drying trend just in time for thanksgiving. but we may have to deal with some patchy fog. a closer look at those rain chances hour by hour. and when things clear out in that forecast coming up in a few minutes. all right, rob, we'll see you then. in san francisco, businesses and neighbors are still recovering from the last storm, and some are cleaning up flooding before more rain arrives. flora grubb gardens plant store in bayview check it out. had more than an inch of water. flood their showroom. the rain and flooding forced them to close friday. then yesterday, employees rushed to squeegee all the water away and to get plants and merchandise up from the floor. luckily, we have lots of soil in bags, which basically double as sandbags, so we were able to like put those around and kind of divert water from coming in as much as we could. and then saturday morning we had to come in and kind of really deal with the aftermath before opening. while all the extra water was a hassle, they admit

it was great for the plants and with more rain in the forecast, they're strategically placing sandbags and buttressing doors and taking another live look at san bruno mountain here, where our storm ranger is busy tracking that incoming storm. do not forget you can keep an eye on the incoming storm with our free nbc bay area app. just scan that qr code right there on your screen to download it. we just redesigned the weather section, by the way. it's more accurate than the weather app on your iphone and gives you access to our storm ranger exclusive radar. look at sfo on what the airport expects to be the biggest travel day of the year. by the end of the night. this night, airport officials estimate about 164,000 travelers will have passed through sfo, along with big crowds headed elsewhere. quite a few folks are flying into the bay area for the holiday as well. travelers are being warned to budget in time for long waits when relief is the weather in the bay area has cleared up for a little bit. we're going to las vegas to me. oh, and are you guys expecting

any delays or anything of that sort? oh, i hope not. i hope no, yeah, today the weather is actually really good. so we're hoping for no delays. yeah, well, thanksgiving travel is expected to break records across the board this year. triple a says nearly 80 million americans plan to travel 50 miles or more for the holiday. as we head into the holiday week, a hotel strike in san francisco just got bigger, a hospitality workers union says. some 500 employees at the san francisco marriott marquis hotel downtown. they walked off the job today. they'll join nearly 2000 other workers from other downtown hotels already on strike. it's part of a nationwide walkout that began over labor day weekend in san francisco. is the only city where workers remain on strike. nbc bay area's christie smith reports. well, hundreds more workers are now on strike. they join others who've been on strike at certain san francisco hotels. we spoke with some today about their experiences and what it is they hope to gain back on strike.

just south of market street in san francisco. some marriott hotel workers walked off the job sunday. today is day one of the strike here at the marriott marquis. we've been on strike in five other hotels, some of them for up to 64 days. lizzy tapia is president of unite here local two. we're escalating the fight. we now have 2500 workers that are out on strike, and one of our biggest issues is our health care. we deserve a good contract, one that guarantees us our job security, fair wages. the strike includes food and beverage workers, servers, room attendants and organizers say it includes workers at the grand hyatt san francisco, union square, hilton san francisco, union square and the westin saint francis. we've been out for 64 days. nicholas javier is a hotel server at the westin saint francis, where the union square shopping district is decked out for the holidays. we don't want to have to be out here in the holidays, but we will if we have to. the city has

been trying to recover from pandemic impacts, and workers believe there are more ways to make a difference. i would say the hotel should be partners with us in bringing business back to san francisco. in a statement, a marriott spokesperson said in part the hotel remains open and we have well-established protocols in place to operate and take care of guests in the event of any impact to staffing. we remain available to meet with the local union negotiating committee to reach an agreement that is fair to all parties, the hyatt said in part. it is offering competitive wages, health care and retirement benefits, adding it looks forward to continuing to negotiate fair contracts and management has contingency plans to minimize the impact of the strike on hotel operations in san francisco. christie smith, nbc, bay area news. vice president kamala harris will be in san francisco tomorrow. it will be her first trip back to the bay area since conceding the presidential election to donald trump. now, harris has been on vacation in hawaii over the last week. few details about her

visit have been released, but she is expected to arrive in san francisco tomorrow night with the second gentleman. a deadly drug overdose in san francisco's tenderloin district is sadly not an unusual event. but what is unusual is that the city medical examiner misidentified the body, telling one family that had lost a member who was still alive and not telling the dead man's family of their loss. tonight, for the first time, we are hearing from siblings of the man who died who just found out recently about the overdose back in 2021. the story begins at the dahlia hotel in san francisco, where a man was found dead from an overdose in may of 2021. the san francisco medical examiner identified this man, james robinson, as the deceased. the robinson family received ashes from the m.e. and even put the urn in an altar in their house. but earlier this year, a good friend saw robinson walking in the tenderloin, very much alive. so whose ashes were in the urn?

dna testing answered that question. jacob crissinger. his family was notified just two weeks ago of the death that happened more than three years ago. i've spent the last three years looking for him, hoping and searching, you know, different halfway houses and rehabilitation programs and hospitals and jails. every time i went to the bay area, i would drive to areas where i thought he might be. family members say crissinger was a drug addict with mental health challenges, and they wonder if that is why the medical examiner based his identification on statements from employees at the dahlia hotel, rather than more scientific methods. you shouldn't be misidentified because they failed to do a dna test. they failed to have the family come down and identify him. they didn't look at the fact that my brother is only like five five, and that other guy is way taller, and maybe he was just a drug addict to them,

but to me he was my brother. a spokesperson for the medical examiner's office says we extend our sincere condolences to jacob christian cazares loved ones and family, and we are grateful for the department of justice for their assistance on the case. as for james robinson, seen alive in the tenderloin in may, he was tracked down in the same area by his sister in july. but after an emotional reunion, he refused rehab and disappeared again. his friends say they've seen him since his sister has not. we kind of know the idea of where he hangs out, so we've been just every few weekends or every other weekend or so. we'll go out and we'll search for a few hours and just in hopes to find him, it may seem the families involved are entitled to some kind of compensation for their trauma, but legal analyst stephen clark says that will not be easy to prove. this will be a tricky case for the plaintiffs because there are a lot of governmental immunities that would come into play here. but at the same time, you have to appreciate what these families went through. jacob christian

jr's family says it's not just about money. it's about changing protocols so that others don't have to be traumatized as they've been. well, the driver is facing dui charges tonight after a four car crash in solano county. it happened just after 130 this morning on i-80 west of the airbase parkway exit in fairfield. pictures right here showing a badly damaged suv. it is unclear what led up to the crash. two people were hurt. police arrested the driver accused of causing the crash on suspicion of dui. part of the highway was shut down for several hours while crews cleared the roadway. a close call for two men who went boating at lake merced in san francisco. firefighters and a paddle boarder rescued the pair around 5:00 this evening. the men say their small boat capsized and they waited on top of it until the help arrived. the two told us they didn't know how to swim and forgot to put on their life vests. one of them says when the boat overturned, he was trapped underneath it for a time. safely got away, though.

paramedics checked them out and tonight they are doing okay. we are in full holiday mode and this year the national retail federation says spending will reach a new record. but only 23% of adults plan to shop at small businesses, compared to the 46% who will spend at department stores and 57% who will buy online. in the east bay. two women are teaming up again, hoping small black owned businesses get a bigger piece of that pie. nbc and i have more on this story and how these women are moving oakland forward. zenni saint charles, who owns brash, a small business that specializes in natural whipped shea butter. so i would say i've known since since like pre-teen age that i wanted to be an entrepreneur and a masters of hella plants market had separate lives. there's actually a real plant community worldwide, so i wanted to tap into that until they didn't. i met jeanette a few years ago. i've been my products all the time, so i was vending at her market. now, the

born and raised oaklanders have combined their entrepreneurial spirits into this. a third year of the black market. we just started thinking about how, you know, we wanted to, you know, create something for us, something for us, by us. the vendors are mostly black. appoint the women wanted to focus on. we're out here, but a lot of the time we don't get the same recognition as other people. and so sometimes you have to take the initiative to make sure that we are seen. the need is high. according to a bloomberg report in 2020. eight in every ten black owned businesses closed within the first 18 months, and cnbc reports last year, black owned businesses received less than 2% of vc overall funding every year. so when we're talking about being able to infuse capital into your business and, you know, we make up 13% of the us population, but we're getting less than 2% of venture capital funding for our businesses. we're thinking about how do we

change these numbers? they hope you'll join what they're building by spending a lot at the more than 40 vendors who will be at the blackout market. it runs on black friday and small business saturday at oak stop in downtown, which is also black owned. this year, the women promise it will be bigger than ever with more booths and activities. we think about it like, you know, this is home and how do we how do we make it an even more bustling and thriving place? coming up, a new twist on a christmas tradition the south bay event allowing visitors to ride their bike through a holiday wonderland. plus, salmon drawing a crowd in the south ba. why naturalists are saying about all the attention that the fish are getting. and right now, our storm ranger mobile doppler radar picking up scattered showers moving into marin county with the promise of more rain, especially as we move forward into that monday morning commute for the santa cruz mountains. of a closer look at the timing

brand new spin on an annual drive through holiday light display at history park in san jose. nbc bay area's marianne favro stopped by there to see what is unique this year. terry and gia. this is so much fun. this is the first time ever that they've held this event only for cyclists, and they're expecting more than 600 people to ride through here tonight using pedal power cyclists, young and old cruised into history park in san jose tonight to check out the holiday lights. some even decked out their own bikes as they rode through the displays. i love riding, i just took it up a few years ago, john schmitz decided to see the sights from atop his unicycle. it's much more relaxed. it's. yeah, it's fun to talk to people and not just stuck in your own car. so i think it's great. and kids were all smiles. it's pretty fun.

christmas in the park puts on this drive-thru event for cars, but after a request from cyclists, they decided to offer a bike only night. christmas in the park is all about inclusion, and we want something for everybody. and we have so many people who can't drive or choose not to drive. we wanted them to experience this the way they needed to experience it. happy holidays, merry christmas. from snow to santa, they put down their kickstands to kick start their holidays. money raised at this event goes to support christmas in the park in downtown san jose, which is short $100,000 for next year's event. since we're not getting the donations that we normally expect, we're looking at what we need to change next year. we're still going to be in the park next year. we're not going away. we just won't have the ability to do what we normally do. we'll have to make some changes unless we can come up with that shortfall that we have right now. but tonight the focus is on embracing this cycle of the season. no motors, just magic.

merry christmas. this is the only night that you can bike through, but you can drive through this event through december 31st. and now i'm going to send it back to you. so i can keep on biking. i'm hearing that she's still out there. yeah, she's going around and around. marianne, stop. yeah, yeah. all right, so bring your wheels. that will be a fun night. marianne. thank you. yeah, well, hey, it was a spectacle in the south bay. still is. chinook salmon in the los gatos creek. it continues to draw crowds. we first told you about this last night at 11 today. the walking bridge overlooking the creek in campbell. check it out. lots of people there packed many of the people who stopped by hoping to see the migrating fish fight upstream. they saw our report on the phenomenon last night. a large number of salmon have been spotted in several south bay creeks. experts say it's an unexpected result of all the rain this past week, and local conservationists think all the attention is a good thing. i think that the more eyes that

are on the creek, the better it is for the fish. so more people are aware of it. we have signage out here so that so that fish and game will be called and fish and game is pretty active right now in terms of protecting things. so i think it's a positive. okay. so you heard him talking about those signage. yeah. it's against the law to try to catch fish in los gatos creek. that is something to be aware of if you go to see the salmon in person. marianne showed us some of their last, last night with a shopping cart, trying to catch fish anywhere. don't do it. an elderly horse right there, rescued from a deep mud pit on the peninsula today, firefighters were called to a property on runnymede road near woodside this morning. they get there and they find this horse right there, 29 years old. it had already exhausted itself trying to get free of the thick, deep mud. couldn't even move to try to get itself out of there. luckily, the fire crew had a number of experienced equestrians on hand and called a

veterinarian in for backup as well. they gave like full, full service to this horse. in the end, they used straps and a tractor to hoist the animal to safety. after giving the horse some time to rest, which was also another really important part of this is not to rush this process. we were able to successfully use the tractor to gently lift that horse and allow it to get on its four legs, which it did pretty quickly. and then again, give it some time to recover and ultimately the rescue operation was successful. and we're very, very, very happy with that. and it was successful because the firefighters kept trying and trying numerous attempts to free that horse. but as you can see, it was able to walk ever so slowly on its own afterwards. its injuries, we're told, are minimal. nice. okay. yeah, yeah. all right. rob is here now. and rob, i know that a lot of people probably enjoyed this dry weather that we had, but i know we've been talking about more rain. yeah, we're going to be seeing it as early as tomorrow morning, especially

around the santa cruz mountains, the south bay and a little bit different this time around. we are talking about an atmospheric river, but for the most part the biggest impact is likely to be just to our south, which means highway 17 areas south of san jose will likely get the most rain this time around. right now san jose partly cloudy skies, 55 degrees as we take you around the bay. 52 inland towards walnut creek and contra costa county might see a little bit of patchy fog moving forward to tomorrow morning. and right now, 53 degrees in san rafael and a view of the bay bridge 56 currently in san francisco. so for tomorrow morning, rain at times, but likely the heaviest rain. scotts valley, santa cruz areas south of downtown san jose. we begin the day in the 40s and low 50s, and by lunchtime the rain at times continues, especially for the lower peninsula southward and our highs tomorrow. it's going to be a bit chilly, upper 50s to low 60s around the bay area. so here is the rainfall estimate. and look what we have on the map. the areas in red. it's not the north bay and it's not the

central bay. it's areas really there to the south, santa cruz mountains down towards gilroy could be looking at at least 1 to 2in of rain from monday on into tuesday. so far tonight, what we've seen of the showers mainly light showers moving into the north bay, but you can see the moisture plume there to the south. that's what's going to be driving the higher rain rates moving forward into the morning around the santa cruz mountains, morgan hill down into gilroy, scattered showers for areas north of san francisco. so as we get into monday evening, rain rates might let up for a bit. and then they're going to fill in again as we get into tuesday morning again, mainly areas south of san francisco. and that is what's going to drive those rain rates up 1 to 2in, maybe locally more in the santa cruz mountains. but for things start to dry out as we head into tuesday night. now, better news for your thanksgiving holiday weekend plans. you see, thursda, their thanksgiving day looks dry. watch out for some dense tule fog in the central valley, and we might see some of that spilling westward at night into the north and east bay valley. so one more chance of showers friday into saturday. right now

looks like mainly south of the grapevine. if you're heading into southern california, you might have to watch out for that. but for the bay area, things are trending drier moving forward into and through the holiday weekend. so san francisco next two days. best chances of rain monday looks to be the wettest day of the week. we start to lose the rain chances after tuesday and a pretty comfortable temperatures. i think the top travel concern could be that dense fog with some of that could set up, especially in the east bay valleys. maybe some of the local airports as we head into the weekend, as we make the turn to a drier pattern, once we pass the middle part of the week, i see the 63 next sunday. what did you say it's going to be in buffalo, 29 degrees. no snow showers will be playing there. yeah, we'll have that coming up next time. all right rob thanks. still to come starting the holiday season by taking a step back in time. we're going to take you on a trip to the victorian era next. and a reminder as we head toward the holidays, we're helping to make sure everyone has food on the

lives on a farm in minnesota. well, it's going to be cold, but they got plenty of feathers on, so i think they're ready for it. what's going on around here? come turkey day. well, better. drier weather for travel. so good news. next two days, the most rain we're going to see in the seven-day forecast rolling in tomorrow morning. and as we head into tuesday and unlike last week, where we're expecting those supersized totals in the north bay, santa cruz mountains south, likely seeing the most out of this particular storm inbound. right now, san francisco, you've got partly cloudy skies, 56 degrees more 50s as you head up to san rafael. you can see some of the low clouds there, kind of illuminated by the city lights there to the south, as you head over to walnut creek, 52 san jose. right now, also partly cloudy at 55 degrees, so the rain is returning. and as we've been talking about areas south of san francisco likely to see the top totals, top rain rates likely coming down for tomorrow morning, and then the thanksgiving outlook does look dry. but watch out for some patchy, dense fog across some of those inland valleys that could

slow down some of those travel times over the next few mornings. morning temperatures around the bay area 40s and 50s as the rain starts to ramp up across the south bay, and unlike the mid 60s, we saw for weekend highs, tomorrow's highs upper 50s from san francisco to oakland, close to 60 in san jose and mid 50s around those east bay valleys. and here you go. the rain totals. notice we have some decent numbers here in the north bay, but we're not breaking the rainfall charts like we were a week ago. going to double digit totals. instead. it's areas here around highway 17 south south of san jose likely to see the brunt of it. and here's the reason why. the atmospheric river plume that's going to boost those rainfall rates, mainly off to the central coast. and it's the central coast corridor out towards the southern sierra. that will be the main impact of the wet weather rolling in over the next couple of days. so tonight, kind of like we've been seeing over the last few hours. we've been seeing these showers moving in. but the focus of the steadier rain arrives tomorrow morning. and you see it there right around 8:00. areas around san francisco southward, a few

scattered showers as we move forward into the evening forecast. tuesday. rain will ramp up briefly again into tuesday morning. then as we head into tuesday night, the rain chances start to move out of the bay area and they should stay out of the forecast for thanksgiving day. maybe some more showers possible for southern california as we get into the beginning of the weekend. but for the bay area, it does look dry with some patchy fog concerns setting up for the second half of the week. so there you see san francisco drying out temperatures near 60 this week. inland temperatures low to mid 60s as we head towards thanksgiving and 60s here. let's check in with sunday night football forecast. the anthony flores forecast. here we go. there it is, highmark stadium. what does that say? 2929 degrees. the nbc bay area parka as worn by anthony flores, may see snow showers and get acquainted with lake effect snow. anthony, you might see a little bit of that next weekend. that's typical weather there for buffalo. i think anthony wants

some thermal underwear for christmas, but he wants it really early. he wants it like now. like now, like now. anthony, are you ready? i don't know, i better get ready. a lot of layers. it's been a while since i've lived in the midwest, but i do remember layers is the key. stomp your feet, too, when you get cold. all right. the 49ers today. they were no match for the packers in green bay without starters. brock purdy, nick bosa, trent williams and charvarius ward. brandon allen making his first start at quarterback for the niners. purdy out after hurting his shoulder against seattle last weekend. the packers just shredded that niners defense in the first quarter. jordan love hits tucker kraft for an 11 yard touchdown. green bay led 17. nothing. kyle shanahan getting frustrated with the refs and the number of penalties on his team. the niners get some life late in the second quarter. allen connects with george kittle for the touchdown. it was 17 seven packers at the half. now the niners had momentum in the third quarter. then allen is picked off on a pass that went through

the hands of deebo samuel. the packers return it 48 yards to the 26 yard line. the niners with three turnovers in the game that would lead to the second short touchdown run by josh jacobs. he had the trifecta a hat trick, three rushing touchdowns. the niners were not able to get anything going on the ground, just 44 yards rushing. they also had nine penalties for 77 yards at crucial times as well. the packers dominate the niners 38 to 10. it's the niners worst loss in the 74 game history with the packers. i'm really not concerned right now about how many guys we missed today. we don't play good enough, so that's not a factor. but when you are missing some guys, you do have to be better. and when you have those penalties we didn't stop the run like we did. and then having those three turnovers in the second half, that's how you get embarrassed. started to build some momentum there at the end of the half. going into the second half. had some drives going and you know, i think it was just penalties

and turnovers really killed us all day today. this is probably one of the worst ones i've been a part of. you know it is embarrassing. you got to take it. take it on the chin, take it like a man and move on. all right. we are all about moving you forward here at nbc bay area. so, terry, i am trying to make you feel good about yourself. please do. the los gia 49ers. they do fall to five and six on the season. here's the good news. this is how we're moving you forward. they're just one game out of a first place tie in the nfc west. all right in las vegas the raiders taking on the broncos down three in the second quarter gardner minshew hits ameer abdullah for the touchdown giving the silver and black the lead. but minshew would leave the game with a season ending collarbone injury late in the game, and then bo nix hooks up with courtland sutton for their second touchdown of the game. the broncos beat the raiders 29 to 19. las vegas falls to two and nine on the season, so it could always be worse, right? next up for the 49ers they head to buffalo to face the bills on

sunday night football. i am looking forward to that game. i will dress warm layers, stomp your feet terry and gia i will speak to you guys next sunday. hopefully the mouth works because when it gets cold. yeah, it's tough to speak. all right, well, we'll be watching. we'll be nice and warm in here. and gia you lived in minneapolis, any advice for anthony? knows those are all true very true. all right. well, first it was timothee chalamet and then dev patel. now a celebrity look alike contest with a sports twist held in la this weekend. dozens of people competed in a shohei ohtani lookalike contest. the guy i thought would win didn't. it was held at the japanese american national museum in downtown la. contestants showed up wearing their dodgers gear. some even brought a lookalike of ohtani's dog, decoy. the winner says he's actually been mistaken for the baseball superstar before. and the guy i thought would win. i don't know how he lost, but he lost. and there's the dog that i
