they'll have to put more on christian mccaffrey, receiving the ball from the backfield. you're going to have to step up all around him. george kittle. we haven't really seen a lot of him in the last few weeks. i expect him to step up until deebo returns. one thing with those high-ankle sprains, it's the closest thing to a break. and they have different severities, depending on the severity. he could return quicker than that time period. >> sometime it's quicker? >> sometimes it's quicker. >> tom brady's homecoming didn't go as expected. he was picked off twice in the second half. first it was dashon gibson. >> when you get consistent pressure, the quarterback sees ghost, you break on the ball, you anticipate hits and overthrows. and gibson snagged it. >> and greenlaw tips it up to himself. afterwards he kept the football and asked tom brady to sign it. >> seems a little bit ballsy to go up to brady and ask him to sign the ball. >> the worst he could tell me is no. he's the greatest. i appreciate that. >> how did you approach him? >> i went like a little fan. i went like

mccaffrey ended up with 119 yards rushing.id quarterback throws a pair of touchdowns, passes and leads the 49ers stood their sixth straight win 35 to 7. he outplays the veteran and to him, it's not complicated. first career start. just in the back of my head. it's you know, make the guy miss what's the place still were guys going to be? and then if i'm on the run for good like it's you know who's the first guy can see open and whatnot. so definitely talk to our guys like i can scramble and do different things off schedule, so always look alive. and here's the further development for the 49ers pete carroll in the seahawks hosting carolina panthers padding a lead in the fourth quarter rahim black shirt to the end zone from eight yards at carolina pulls out the 32 24 win. that means that the 49ers can beat the seahawks thursday night in seattle. san francisco will clinch the nfc west championship . remember, they were just three and four. not that long ago and had that big game against the rams that they dominated haven't lost a

and barry mccaffrey. igor, i'm going to begin with you. what is zelenskyy's aim today? and why make this historic trip right now, why take the chance of leaving ukraine in this moment? >> well, first of all, zelenskyy is trying to show america that you are still the leader of the free world, and it is very symbolic that you are the first stop on the trip, it is a trip, and a thank you from him. and secondly, this war is entering a very serious space. now tens of millions of civilians are in direct danger. in kyiv, we've just been told that in two, three weeks time, if we get ten hours of electricity a day, that's amazing. that's good news for us. because now we're getting two to three hours a day. so there are a lot of things happening on the ground and i think now is the decisive moment to decide, both for the congress, and for anyone else in the united states, whether, you know, are we still supporting democracy, or are we giving putin effectively a blank check to continue politics. >> what does it mean to have the patriot air defense missile systems for ukraine right

big concern for the 49ers is christian mccaffrey going to play?ny flores. >> reporter: braving the elements, the 49ers practiced today in the rain. jimmy garoppolo was full go for the second day in a row. a good sign number 10 has shaken off the pounding he took in the 49ers' win over the saints. jimmy g. took several hits to the head and won to the knee that had fans in levi's stadium holding their breath until he got up. so how does his knee feel today? >> it was great. it was great, baby. no, it's coming along, yeah. i feel pretty good with it. >> reporter: running back elijah mitchell was not as fortunate in that game. he has an mcl sprain and could miss up to two months. christian mccaffrey is also dealing with a knee issue. the 49ers call it irritation. cmc returned to practice today after sitting out yesterday. he says he feels great. if he's not able to suit up, rookies jordan mason and ty davis price could be asked to carry the load against the dolphins. mason has earned the confidence of his teammates after helping the 49ers run out the

let's go to the start of the 3rd mccaffrey. 41 pick up. he's been he takes the carry.g pay our touchdown. he fpnished with 2 touchdowns. one in the air, one on the ground. we now have 11 career games with both a rushing and receiving touchdown. >> which is the 4th most in nfl history. niners win. 35 to 7 and all the talk after this one was about the debut of brock purdy. you could not have written it up. >> any better than that? 16 for 21. 185 yards. 2 touchdown passes. let's head back out to levi stadium where we're joined by kron 4 sports reporter kate rooney. not kate. earlier in the highlight, i said i'll no longer say mister irrelevant and brock purdy in the same sentence. what was the reaction in the locker room to that performance? >> jason, the forty-niners were confident all week long. the property had the chops to deliver this and we weren't so sure. right. we spent the entire week analyzing what happened today. well, that performance exceeded even the highest of expectations you read brought pretty stat line. he also had a quarterback rating through the roof

they handed it off to christian mccaffrey. broke free. strong stiff arm and he trotted in the end zone for second touchdown of the day. the niners in complete control. noblydy plays yet, here's why. wasn't able to do anything against the niners' defense. hit as he threw. picked off by greene. that's a great athletic feat there by green law. second interception of the day for brady. avoiding the shut-out but the niners rolled in this one, 35-7. six straight wins in a record now of 9-4. >> brock played his [ bleep ] off today and he played it off last weekend. i only -- you know, he's sitting pretty high bar for himself. so you know, he's going to keep doing it. i think he understands his role and i think he understands the job that he needs to do. and he doesn't need to be superman. and i mean today he looked it at times which was even better for us right? but you know he has to be just himself and is p pretty good. >> going out there and making plays and he's a baller and you know i tip my hat to him. i couldn't be more happier for him. i

christian mccaffrey taking a little bit of a breather there. 17 rather 14, 7 in the 3rd day.etty fakes. the handoff here rolls out on the bootleg hits george kittle in stride. 33 yards and pay forty-niners and of taking a 21 to 7 lead. but the commanders, though, they end coming right back yeah, ron rivera looking on four-play 75 yards the last 3 yards and this taylor heinicke touchdown pass to terry mclaurin. yeah. commanders within 7 here. 21 to 14 your score forty-niners defense, though ends up a stepping-up heinicke bit after their celebration here. heinicke is under pressure. nick bosa ends up nailing him here. ball goes up in the air. jordan willis ends up pulling it in the game. awesome. commanders scoring with 5.30, left making score 30 to 20. they didn't come up with the on-side kick. christian mccaffrey here, the start putting right on top of the christmas tree. 3 yard touchdown burst, ices it forty-niners go on to win. 37 to 20. this is their 8th straight. kate rooney front and center on christmas eve taking in all the jubilation there at levi stadium tonight. kate

we pick up action in the second quarter with a jet sweep to ray ray mccloud, christian mccaffrey blockingnd washington guys, you can stop running. you're not going to catch him. 71 yard longest play from scrimmage for the niners this season. they're up seven. nothing we're going to move on to the third quarter with purty 15 for 20 to 234 yards airing it out. he hits george kittle on a 34 yard seam route for the titans first td of the game, then five minutes later, pretty rolls out, dumps it off to g k, and he does the rest. he runs 33 yards for his second touchdown. six balls 120 yards on the day. the 49ers d also showed up this holiday weekend. nick bosa with the hit on taylor, hi, nicky and defensive end jordan. willis with the recovery would also get into interception from jimmie ward on their way to a 37 to 20 win at levi's. the goal today was to go out there and get a win. but also it's always an opportunity to make your team stronger. and regardless of what happens, i think we did make it stronger. and if we can continue doing that, i think will and you know what? in the playoffs, p

listening along with us has been general barry mccaffrey. he was on us with earlier. former adviser to president zelenskyy and mikey cheryl of new jersey. and veteran. she introduced the resolution to bring president zelenskyy to the capitol today. congressman cheryl, i want to start with you. what stood out for you from that session with the press, the two presidents? >> well, i think you're right. the friendship between the two in such a short time stood out. i think that shows that zelenskyy has seen how hard we are working to provide him with munitions he needs. as you know, this will be the first time we give the ukrainians a patriot battery. they've been asking for that for a very long time. so we are continuing to work to meet them, meet the demands that they have to continue the fight. i think in large part because of how impress you have the ukrainians have been on the ground and truly how horrible the russians have been as they continue to target sufficient -- continue to target civilians and women and children and hospitals. we see a support for our democra

cnn here that led to a christian mccaffrey. touchdown. mccaffrey had another productive night. so did george kittle a 2 touchdown performance for the tight and it's never easy in seattle despite san francisco having a 2 score lead for much of the game, seattle came within a touchdown in the final minutes of the 4th quarter. but the forty-niners hung on the one this one. 21 to 13 and the nfc west champs. so now just 3 more games left in the regular season. the washington commanders at home, the raiders in vegas and the cardinals back at levi stadium. all pretty winnable games. so now it's about jockeying for postseason seeding. the forty-niners are looking to leapfrog the vikings were currently in that number 2 spot in the nfc not would give san francisco home-field advantage in at least the first game of the postseason. back to you guys. i k party has been so exciting for all of us. >> he more from kate later in the newscast. also coming up here tonight at 8. >> hate crimes are on the rise in america. new documents released this week show the dead a buck. the fbi says that is n

with me now is barry mccaffrey.e seen each other in person. it's great to have you here. thank you. what would patriots mean at this time for the ukrainians? >> it's important and symbolic, among other things. 70 kilometers, it's a high altitude system. 24 kilometers up in altitude. it will definitely get cruise missiles, ballistic missiles and russian bombers. it's a $4 million missile. it doesn't make a lot of sense to go after iranian drones that cost $50,000 a piece nor will it be effective. the other thing it's one battery. the u.s. army has 50 batteries. so it's a toe in the water. it's going to take them six months to absorb this and integrate it into their defense. >> so when vladimir putin says this is a provocation and it makes vague threats, what do you make of it? >> they are in trouble. the russian armed forces basically come apart. the ukrainians have this initiative where they are hammering them with long distance rockets. i personally think the next step we cannot allow kraun cain to just get bludgeo

two plays later, christian mccaffrey pounds it in from a yard out mccaffrey 138 total yards and thatners. of 14 3 at the half second play of the third quarter purty scares the field finds wide open and then watch kendall. he's not going to be taken down. makes one guy miss makes two guys miss and it's 54 yards and a touchdown, his second of the game. 21 3, san francisco. more niners defense, nick bosa gets to geno smith for the sec, both of those tied with new england's matthew jude in for the league lead with 14.5. seattle cuts into 21 13 trying to get the ball back, but jordan's mason seals the deal, 55 yard run on third and one with just over a minute to go. that's the ball game. the $4 close this one out. in victory formation and sweep seattle for the first time in 11 years. final score there 21 13. the win guarantees the 49ers at least one home playoff game. knowing that we got it in this fashion and in this atmosphere again, um it means the world complete team. when we needed everybody, and i'm just super proud of the group. i just want to make sure my motion was good. you know

mccaffrey bust through the line employs a stiff arm and he's gone on a touchdown run 35 49ers as mccaffreynded up with 119 yards rushing, the quarterback, throws a pair of touchdown passes and leaves the 49ers to their sixth straight win 35 to 7. so how about that quarterbacks performance in his first nfl start? he did an awesome job. i think all you guys saw that, but it was, um he made a ton of plays made. the plays that were there made a lot of plays that weren't there did a great job in the pocket. just in the back of my head. it's you know, make the guy miss what's the place still where guys going to be? and then if i'm on the run for good like it's who's the first guy can see open and whatnot. so definitely talked to our guys. i can scramble and do different things off schedule, so always look alive. and here's the further development for the 49ers, pete carroll and the seahawks hosting carolina panthers padding a lead in the fourth quarter. rahim blackshear to the end zone from eight yards at carolina pulls out of 32 24 win. that means the 49ers can beat the seahawks thursday night

mccaffrey. san francisco 22 year old led the 49ers there are 35 7 blowout wind over the tampa bay buccaneers. there's a lot to unpack here. matt stein is from 95 7. the game joins us. i was actually not expecting it to be this way, and we still have a small sample size matter of what purdy can do you know, before people start getting too excited defenses eventually we'll figure this young man out, right? you would think, but these are two great starts for him and obviously came off the bench. would jimmy got hurt? but you know, he played four years at iowa state, and so if you look at the 49ers quarterback situation, they had trey lance, who didn't have a lot of college experience and came from a small school. so when a crazy kind of way it almost feels like brock purdy might be more equipped right now to lead the 49ers because he's got 50. 45 50 starts in college. so that's probably why sally looks way more composed that rookie quarterback and he has all these weapons as we see. you know, deebo

well, darren mccaffrey , our political editor, mccaffrey, our political editor, joins me live from westminsterand i suppose , daryn, these and i suppose, daryn, these strikes will be pretty high up the agenda . yes, indeed. i think the agenda. yes, indeed. i think they will be at this cabinet meeting that's also taking place in downing street this morning. tom, clearly this is going to have a big impact on millions of people across the country. ministers this morning, including will quince, tried to back away suggestions that people will not be able to seek medical attention effectively get an ambulance in an emergency in certain parts of the country at later on this week. in a view of a heart attack or a stroke. can the government guarantee that there will be an ambulance at the within any sort of time back a couple of hours? they cannot. and that is why this is a big, tricky political issue for the government. as you say, the prime minister is going to be at that liaison committee , £3 be at that liaison committee, £3 afternoon, 14 committee chairs. you bet. your bottom dollar. of course, st

brock purdy played through an injury and christian mccaffrey rushed for 108 yards and also in possession of the third quarter, brock purdy had two touchdowns. by the time he broke free san francisco won the seventh straight game and clenched the nfc west title for the first time since 2019 in seattle . >> it is special and everything but honestly it is te in terms of a guy coming in just doing what he is asked. >> you know i am overwhelmed to the playoffs, i've only been in the playoffs twice. it is hard getting here. >> reporter: i am vern glenn . >>> are you looking to add a furry friend strength the holidays bring family together maybe it is time you add a new erto your home eekend only the foundation is waiving adoption fees for the dogs and cats six months and older. they are all up to date on their microchips. they print with other shelters across california. >>> right now post-pandemic we are finding a lot of our shelter partners at capacity. we are trying to get in as many animals as we can. this is why we are waiving adoption fees . >> if you are not ready to adopt for yourself

look at this throw to christian mccaffrey. perfect ball placement. very emotional.he nuns were rolling but then handed off to deebo samuel, going up the middle. gets rolled up right here. gets it hard, did not return officially. you're likely with a bad sprain. six straight wins. san francisco can clears the nfc west all with brock purdy at the controls. >> i am just excited that we won. just to do what it takes to win, the defense played great. the offense did its thing. to win in a crucial part of the season, very exciting. >> were incredible. i don't know what else to say. he went out there and played out of his mind. so happy for him. not surprised at all. i love that he was able to go out there and execute at such a high level. >> he is ready to sling a. he is very smart. good in the huddle. the confidence he has in h gives him confidence in him. block -- how brock purdy would play. when you see that ball flying in the air, scoring touchdowns, that is big time football. it took the entire team today -- complement during football, that is how you work a team lik

so next play, give it to christian mccaffrey. up the middle. 49ers win 37-20. they improve to 11 and 4. they have won eight straight games. so i ask you, rod brooks quite simply, are the 49ers the best team in football right now? >> oh, without a doubt. you see all of their stars on both sides of the game. and the missing piece? the niners have themselves a quarterback who fits exactly what he wants to do. he makes throws in the tight windows. he can get himself out of trouble. can he throw on the move. the only thing that this young man does not have is experience. but brock purdy's getting that experience every single week. >> brock purdy is our ball carrier of the game, presented by manscaped. trusted by 7 million men worldwide. so i will follow up on that conversation, rod. the body of work for him in the nfl is very small. played in college, iowa state. mr. irrelevant. he's not invisible anymore. and there's certainly tape on this guy. can he continue to perform at this level? >> i think he can. he's passed all of the tests that have been administered to h

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 r

christian mccaffrey followed with a touchdown to make it 14-3. and rookie brock purdy again looked like a veteran leading the niners to a 21-13 win. afterward the kid made props to help him along the way. >> honestly i don't think jimmy and trey get enough credit for what they've done. i'm just now coming on the scene. they have been here throughout the off-season for trey and jimmy coming in and leading these guys and winning. for me to come in and i just want to continue what them got rolling. >> keep it rolling, brock. the niners would need a whole lot to happen to top the conference and get the first-round bye. they'll play three more regular season games before the playoffs begin in early january. >> take a look outside right there dark and early this morning as we take a look at the golden gate bridge. hopefully a big win when it comes to that forecast. meteorologist kari hall has a look at what we can expect. >> playoffs? we're talking playoffs? >>> all right. let's get a live look outside in san jose. christmas in the park all lit up. it'
