Episode Notes

n this high-energy recap of "Sunday Night Football," Rod Adams and Garrett Gonzales break down the San Francisco 49ers' thrilling Week 17 victory over the Chicago Bears. It was an offensive explosion from start to finish, but as the 49ers look toward the postseason, the celebratory mood is tempered by a few glaring concerns on the defensive side of the ball.

Key Discussion Points

  • The Ultimate Shootout: Rod and Garrett dive into what was easily one of the most entertaining games of the 2025 season. They discuss the back-and-forth scoring rhythm and how the 49ers managed to keep their composure in a game that felt like it would be decided by whoever had the ball last.
  • Brock Purdy’s Elite Form: The hosts praise Brock Purdy, who played at an incredibly high level tonight. Between his surgical precision through the air and his underrated ability to extend plays with his legs, Rod and Garrett debate if this is the best version of Purdy we’ve seen yet.
  • The Pass Rush Achilles Heel: It wasn’t all good news. The duo gets critical regarding the 49ers' pass rush, which struggled to put meaningful pressure on Caleb Williams. They discuss why this unit has become the team's Achilles heel and whether a lack of pressure will haunt them in the playoffs.
  • Short Week vs. Seattle: Looking ahead, the Niners have zero time to rest. They face a massive divisional showdown against the Seahawks this coming Saturday. Rod and Garrett look at the playoff implications and how the team will handle the quick turnaround.
