San Francisco 49ers vs Buffalo Bills
But once the game started, the change in quarterback didn’t change the results for the 49ers offense.
As if to send a message that his commitment to his cause is unwavering, Kaepernick arrived in Buffalo for the game wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the image of boxing legend and civil rights icon Muhammad Ali.
Kaepernick has been the focus of fierce debate over his anthem protest, which critics call disrespectful. He appealed the conviction, and the United States Supreme Court eventually overturned it. Dawson passed Roger Craig to move into 10th place on the 49ers’ all-time scoring list with his first field goal.
“I don’t understand what’s un-American about fighting for liberty and justice for everybody, for the equality that this country says it stands for”, said Kaepernick, whose protest aims to being attention to racial injustice in the country.
For his first start in nearly a year, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback showed up Sunday wearing a T-shirt with a photo of Muhammad Ali on the front.
Newton, who missed Carolina’s loss to Tampa Bay last week with concussion symptoms, returns at a time when the defending NFC champions desperately need a victory to climb out of last place in the NFC South and avoid falling to 1-5.
“We thought we had a chance to be successful running the football, and we did have a great plan”, Bills coach Rex Ryan said.
“I reached out to them”, McCoy said.
Joining Kaepernick taking a knee was S Eric Reid & LB Eli Harold.
Et cetera – Rookie cornerback Rashard Robinson left the game in the third quarter with a concussion.
Taylor went 17-of-26 passing for 179 yards and two touchdowns in the win.
Here’s how to watch Bills vs. 49ers online.
Coincidence or not, the Bills have gone on a three-game winning streak since, outscoring opponents by 79-37 in the run, and are the one team outside of New England in AFC East that looks like it might be able to stay in the playoff conversation as we speed toward November and December.
“Wanted: Notorious Disgrace to America”, and with a picture of Kaepernick throwing a pass and a bullseye aimed at his chest.
If anything, the game confirmed everything that we already knew about the 49ers: It’s a team far from being a victor with defensive struggles, lackluster receiving targets, and a pair of flawed quarterbacks.
Whether her performs well or not, Colin Kaepernick and his social stand (or rather, kneel) is the biggest star in this game. “I think everybody in here would feel that way and I think everybody in here does feel that way”. That put the game out of reach at 38-16, until it was put further out of reach by a 44-yard Mike Gillislee touchdown run.
