Strong chance of Hayne returning to 49ers

Concluded Fisher, “We expected to be here in years past, but things just didn’t work out that way”. Sure, the 49ers still would have lost, but the defense did its job for the most part.

Gurley had 138 rush yards between the tackles Sunday, according to ESPN Stats & Info research, with one run outside going for a loss of 5.

St. Louis would jump out to a 10-3 lead following a two-point conversion.

For the second Sunday in a row the defense didn’t allow a touchdown, limiting San Francisco to a pair of field goals and nearly as many punts (10) as first downs (11).

The defense played inspired football for significant chunks of the game.

“I’m just trying to run down there so I can celebrate with him”, Foles said. “Everyone made a few incredible plays”.

“You get those guys in open space, anything can happen”, said Foles of Gurley and Austin. Austin’s 66-yard run with a screen pass in the fourth quarter wrapped up this game and was his team-high 24th reception of the year. With a team-leading seven touchdowns, Austin has surpassed his career best of six that he scored as a rookie in 2013. They just can’t drop back, they’ve got to respect the running game and that’s what he’s doing.

Hayne will take a spot on the practice squad after the other 31 National Football League teams turned down the opportunity to sign him on Monday.

Gurley is unfair. Players with his size aren’t supposed to also have his vision, explosiveness and speed.

With the amount of time and focus on the running game, quick passes lead to huge plays for the Rams. Two of those wins are in the division, helping the Rams start 3-0 against the NFC West, their best since they won seven in a row from 2003 to 2004.

St. Louis Rams running back Todd Gurley, left, runs for a first… Kaepernick completed only 20 passes out of 41 attempts. The report of the altercation – which came on the heels of a team meeting HC Jim Tomsula described as “heated” – started with Davis allegedly calling Kaepernick out for his shoddy play. “Because we’ve still got a long way to go and a lot of room for improvement”. So they know us and we know them. “The bottom line is our performance hasn’t been good enough”. Austin finished off the day with two total touchdowns, one receiving and another on the ground.

It was also announced that 49ers running back Davis will undergo hand surgery, raising the prospect the team will need to re-sign Hayne.

Gaskins, who was promoted to the franchise’s 53-man roster to replace the Australian former rugby league star, committed a costly mistake with his first touch.
