The San Francisco 49ers aren’t accustomed to lining up in victory formation. So Nick Bosa Color Rush Jersey , it should come as little surprise that third string quarterback Nick Mullens took a knee too quickly on fourth down, giving the ball back to the Broncos with 5 seconds left.Trailing 20-14, Denver had one last, long shot at a 61-yard touchdown on a hook-and-ladder prayer, the likes of which hadn’t been seen in the NFL since … well, about three hours earlier when the Dolphins stunned the Patriots 34-33 with the longest play from scrimmage to win a game with no time remaining in the fourth quarter since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger.Alas, the Broncos couldn’t match the “Miami Miracle ” with their own magic as Devontae Booker allowed Tim Patrick’s throw-back to bounce past him and out of bounds at the San Francisco 39.That took Mullens off the hook.“It was a good rookie mistake,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “That was good because he’ll learn it forever and it won’t happen again and it didn’t cost us the game.”Not again?“I shouldn’t have done it in the first place,” Mullens said. “Are you kidding me?”The Patriots made a couple of uncharacteristic blunders in their meltdown in Miami on Sunday.New England squandered a scoring chance at the end of the first half. With 14 seconds left and no timeouts, Tom Brady took the snap on third-and-goal at the Miami 2, and when he was sacked by Robert Quinn the clock ran out, leaving the Patriots with a 27-21 lead.“Situational football Nick Bosa 49ers Jersey ,” said NBC analyst Tony Dungy. “The Patriots are the best in football at that. But Bill Belichick called the play at the end of the half, figuring his quarterback, Tom Brady, is going to make a good decision, and Tom didn’t throw the ball away. Cost them three points.”The Patriots had bigger brain lock in the final seconds of the fourth quarter, sending lumbering tight end Rob Gronkowski onto the field to defend the “Hail Mary” pass as the Dolphins lined up at their 31 with 7 seconds left, trailing 33-28.New England coach Bill Belichick said the reason Gronkowski was at safety instead of Devin McCourty, one of New England’s best defensive players: “It would be his ability to play the deep, long throw.”Ryan Tannehill, though, is no Aaron Rodgers.“I think it was a little too far to get to the end zone,” Belichick acknowledged Monday https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Steve-Young-Jersey , “but certainly a deep pass in that situation is a possibility. I wouldn’t rule that out.”Instead, Tannehill threw a 14-yard pass to Kenny Stills, who lateraled to DeVante Parker, who quickly lateraled to speedy running back Kenyon Drake at midfield.Despite a history of back, knee and shoulder issues, Gronkowski remains one of the game’s premier tight ends.A good defender, he is not.He took a bad angle and stumbled as he tried to cut off Drake, who beat both Gronkowski and defensive back J.C. Jackson into the end zone to keep alive the wild-card chances of the Dolphins (7-6).“They’ve got Gronkowski in for a jump ball that’s not going to happen,” Dungy said. “It’s 70 yards away. We just are not used to seeing that from the Patriots.”At Levi Stadium where the Broncos won Super Bowl 50, Shanahan beat the team his father led to two Super Bowl championships — and which chose Vance Joseph over him 23 months ago.Joseph was widely thought to have stepped into the best situation when he took over a 9-7 team that was a year removed from a Super Bowl parade last year, famously saying it wasn’t a rebuild but a reboot.Joseph’s 11-18 record is slightly better than Shanahan’s 9-20 mark, which is the worst of the league’s six second-year head coaches. However Nick Mullens Color Rush Jersey , Shanahan has franchise quarterback Jimmy Garappolo on IR.The other members of the 2017 coaching class are: Sean McVay, whose Rams are 22-8; Anthony Lynn, whose Chargers are 19-10, Doug Marrone, whose Jaguars are 16-16; and Sean McDermott, whose Bills are 13-16 but, like Shanahan, has his franchise QB.Joseph has Case Keenum, who’s gone from fantastic fill-in last year in Minnesota to journeyman in Denver.Joseph criticized his quarterback on Monday , saying Keenum is playing too cautiously and not taking shots down the field for fear of throwing an interception.“He’s got to make more plays,” Joseph said, “and sometimes taking some chances allow you to make more plays.”Should the Broncos (6-7) post back-to-back losing seasons for the first time since 1971-72 Y.A. Tittle Jersey , both Joseph’s and Keenum’s jobs could be in jeopardy.Other notable calls in Week 14 included:—Referee Brad Allen’s crew in Seattle picked up the flag after Bobby Wagner put his hands on teammates’ shoulders in his line-leaping block of a Vikings field goal attempt in the game-turning play Monday night. Seattle led 6-0 at the time and went on to win 21-7.—The Panthers didn’t target Christian McCaffrey in three tries from the 3 in the waning minutes of their 26-20 loss at Cleveland even though McCaffrey had topped 100 yards from scrimmage and scored twice Sunday, giving him a dozen touchdowns in his last seven games.—And the Eagles-Cowboys classic was marred by an iffy offensive interference flag on Philadelphia tight end Dallas Goedert for a swim move he put on Cowboys safety Jeff Heath, nullifying his 75-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter.NBC analyst Rodney Harrison called it the worst call of the weekend: “There’s no way that was an offensive pass interference,” Harrison said, “and that’s coming from a defensive guy.” SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — After only two wide receivers went in the first 35 picks, the San Francisco 49ers had plenty to choose from when it came time to make their second-round selection.They opted to go for a player they had some familiarity with after coaching him in the Senior Bowl, selecting South Carolina’s Deebo Samuel with the 36th overall selection in the NFL draft. They added another receiver when they selected Baylor’s Jalen Hurd in the third round with the 67th pick Friday.Only two receivers went in the first round with Baltimore taking Oklahoma’s Marquise Brown 25th overall and New England using the 32nd pick on Arizona State’s N’Keal Harry. No receivers went in the first three picks in the second round before the Niners pounced on Samuel to replace the departed Pierre Garcon.“It hurts for people to tackle him,” coach Kyle Shanahan said. “It doesn’t hurt him as bad. That’s a physical receiver, to me, and a big guy and when you have the hands like that and you have the speed. We’re not playing basketball. We’re not just trying to throw alley-oops under the back board and post people up and box them out and stuff. We want guys to separate, to get the ball in the hand and run.”Samuel had 62 catches for 882 yards and 11 touchdowns last season for South Carolina and is also skilled as a returner with four kick return touchdowns in his career with the Gamecocks. He has experience playing both outside and in the slot and excels with his ability to run after the catch. He forced 21 missed tackles last season Joe Montana Color Rush Jersey , according to Pro Football Focus.“Me personally, I just feel like you’ve got to have that dog in you,” Samuel said. “Having that mindset, not one person is going to bring you down, and you’re going to make every catch that’s thrown your way.”Hurd spent three seasons as a running back at Tennessee before transferring to Baylor and changing positions. He had 69 catches for 946 yards and four TDs last season. He had multiple shoulder surgeries in college and also had minor knee surgery last year.Shanahan said Hurd is versatile enough to be drafted as a receiver, running back or tight end.“That’s a pretty unique thing to have,” Shanahan said. “I don’t remember being able to say that about any player I’ve studied before. So, it’s neat to be able to do that and he can help us out in a lot of different ways.”Samuel and Hurd join last year’s second-round pick Dante Pettis and speedster Marquise Goodwin as San Francisco’s top receivers. The team also signed Jordan Matthews in free agency and brings back Kendrick Bourne, Trent Taylor and Richie James among others.The 49ers’ second-round pick was announced by DeMarcus Cobb, the son of late 49ers scout Reggie Cobb, who died last Saturday at the age of 50. There was a moment of silence to honor Reggie Cobb before the pick was made.San Francisco used its first-round pick to bolster the edge rush, taking Ohio State’s Nick Bosa second overall.Bosa https://www.49ersfanshop.com/Deion-Sanders-Jersey , the brother of Chargers star Joey Bosa, had 17 1/2 sacks and 29 tackles for loss in 30 games with the Buckeyes. He played in only three games last year before suffering a core muscle injury that required season-ending surgery.Bosa will team with recently acquired Dee Ford to give the Niners two potent edge rushers to help upgrade a defense that set an NFL record for futility with only seven takeaways last season.Bosa was asked again about his social-media history that included some Twitter messages that he deleted that could be considered racist and homophobic. He apologized for one that called former 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick a “clown” shortly after he began his protest of racial injustice and police brutality by kneeling during the national anthem.“It wasn’t directed toward that,” he said. “It’s not like I’m saying his stance and what he was doing, that’s not what I was calling or talking about at all. It was just me, a specific thing that happened and me as a young kid, a thought popping into my head and boom, decided to tweet it out. Bad, bad decision. I respect what he’s done. If it empowers anybody, then he’s doing a good thing. I apologize for that.”The 49ers have three picks Saturday, coming at No. 104, 176 and 212 overall.
