Garoppolo returned to San Francisco for the first time as an opponent, albeit as Matthew Stafford’s backup quarterback. Jimmy G and Kyle Shanahan spent six seasons together with the 49ers (2017 to 2022), helping the franchise to two NFC Championship Games and a Super Bowl appearance with Garoppolo as the starting quarterback.
During the ‘TNF’ showdown between the two NFC West rivals, Garoppolo’s brother Billy took a savage shot at Shanahan on his Instagram story by mocking the coach’s reputation as an “offensive guru.”
Tell us how you really feel, Billy.
Though he was watching from the sidelines, Garoppolo got the last laugh on his old team as the Rams squeaked out a sloppy 12-6 victory that featured zero touchdowns. The loss dropped the 49ers to 6-8 with three games to go, all but ending their hopes of returning to the postseason.
It was an all-around forgettable night for Kyle Shanahan and the NFL’s most disappointing team of 2024. From a costly Deebo Samuel drop to linebacker De’Vondre Campbell refusing to go in the game, it was unquestionably a somber day in 49er land.
The Rams, meanwhile, improve to 8-6 and will move into first place in the NFC West if the Seattle Seahawks lose to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. LA and Seattle meet again in Week 18.
Kyle Shanahan & 49ers Have Lots To Figure Out
With Shanahan and GM John Lynch signed long-term, it’s hard to envision the idea of ownership firing either guy. But there is a lot for this group to sort through in the offseason, including the future of Samuel.
Quarterback Brock Purdy will head into the final season of his rookie deal next year, but the 49ers also have to decide if it’s worth paying top dollar after a disappointing season.

Swift and Kelce began dating in September 2023 after Kelce relentlessly tried to get the mega-famous pop star’s attention. He was successful, and the two have made tons of headlines since then.
One of the more read headlines was that the two might be nearing an exciting point in their relationship, especially for fans of the aptly named “Tayvis” relationship, and that is that they were soon to be engaged.
It has been reported repeatedly that Swift and Kelce have wanted to get engaged for a while now, but nothing has come to fruition. However, a ring that Swift wore to the Chiefs game against the Broncos once again has fans talking.

Are Taylor Swift And Travis Kelce Getting Engaged Soon?
Swift showed up to the game in style, as always. She wore a stylish flannel-like skirt with a matching coat over a black top, which coincidentally matched her boots. To complement it all, she wore a $33k ring.
“Rubies have long been regarded as symbols of strength, passion, and protection,” said jeweler Steven Stone, who valued the ring. “Known for their deep red hue, they’re believed to bring courage and vitality to their wearer, making them an ideal choice for someone like Taylor Swift, whose resilience and power shine through as her Eras Tour continues to captivate audiences around the world.”
Taylor has been spotted many times wearing jewelry that references her boyfriend. However, nothing has been confirmed about the couple’s engagement yet. If one thing is certain: Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce getting Engaged would break the internet.

In the wake of quarterback Deshaun Watson’s miserable season-opening outing against the Dallas Cowboys, Browns fans speculated if he had a burner account to defend himself.
Internet detectives zoned in on the X account of one Leroy Bickerstaff (@LeroyBickers4), who has posted glowing remarks about Watson despite a disappointing start to the season.
That was then, and this is now.
It appears that fans have found a separate account that is now being linked to Deshaun Watson.
The account, @VPritchs, suddenly began defending the Browns quarterback during halftime of Sunday’s game, and many accused the quarterback of running the page and tweeting from the locker room.

The Cleveland Browns had multiple opportunities in the fourth quarter to rally for a win for the second straight week, but they ultimately fell short.
Deshaun Watson said to blame himself after Cleveland blew an early 10-0 lead and lost 20-16 to the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday.
The loss dropped the team to 1-3 on the year.
Deshaun Watson Is Once Again Dealing With More Off The Filed Trouble Amid Rough Season
Deshaun Watson and the Browns lost yet again on Sunday, Falling to the Raiders, 20-16, in Las Vegas.
He finished the game by completing 24 of 32 passes for 176 yards, a touchdown, and an interception.
Watson’s woes on the field can also be attributed to what he is dealing with off the field, as another woman is accusing him of sexual assault stemming from an alleged October 2020 incident in a new lawsuit filed earlier this month.
He was previously suspended for 11 games in 2022 and fined $5 million by the league amid accusations of sexual misconduct by massage therapists.
Twenty-three of the 24 civil lawsuits filed against Watson were settled in 2022, according to ESPN.

Travis Kelce is proud to have girlfriend Taylor Swift by his side, and he doesn’t mind that the whole world is watching.
Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce have been dating since at least September 2023 when she shocked everybody by showing up to Arrowhead Stadium. The move came months after Kelce first publicly expressed interest in Swift, after attending one of her concerts and failing to send a friendship bracelet to her with his number on it.
Travis Kelce knows just how obsessed the world is with his relationship.
“I’m very aware,” Kelce said when asked whether he understands the “impact” his romance with Taylor Swift was having on the NFL.
“Obviously, this is mostly because Taylor’s in my life now and we got her [to be] part of Chiefs Kingdom,” he explained in a resurfaced interview with sports reporter Laura Okmin ahead of the Super Bowl.
“And sure enough, that brought an entire entourage of human beings who just love to support her and love to support everything that she’s about.”
He used an incredible word to describe their relationship.
“With that being said, I do, you know, have a guarded approach to it,” he explained before Super Bowl 58. “But at the same time, I know what me and Taylor have is special, so I get [the interest].”
Taylor Swift was spotted at 13 of Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs football games this past season, first popping up in a box at Arrowhead Stadium in Missouri on Sept. 24, 2023. The team won 10 of the 13 games at which she’s been in attendance.
That also included the team winning playoff games over the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens, and then the San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl.
Kelce finished the Super Bowl with nine receptions for 93 yards, including a crucial catch in overtime.
The 34-year-old slowed down slightly in 2023, finishing with 93 catches for 984 yards and five touchdowns. It should be noted he did miss two games, Week 1 due to injury and Week 17 as he chose to sit out with the Chiefs not playing for anything.
