2018 San Francisco 49ers Schedule & Results
Table of Content
Before the 2000 season Jeff Garcia was named the starting quarterback despite the 49ers drafting two quarterbacks . Garcia kept the starting job throughout the season and showed drastic improvement from the previous year. He broke a franchise record for most passing yards in one season, with 4,278 passing yards and 31 touchdowns and only 10 interceptions. Garcia and Terrell Owens, who established himself as the team's number-one receiver, both earned their first Pro Bowl selections. However, the 49ers finished 6–10, missing the playoffs for the second straight season for the first time since 1979 and 1980, due to a defense that gave up 26.4 points per game and a total of 422 points. The 2000 season was Jerry Rice's final year with the 49ers; he played 16 seasons with the team.
The next week, Kaepernick and the 49ers blew out the Chicago Bears 32–7, and Harbaugh chose Kaepernick as the starter next week against the New Orleans Saints, despite Smith being cleared to play. Despite Smith leading the NFL in completion percentage (70%) and passer rating (104.1), Kaepernick was considered more dynamic with his scrambling ability and arm strength. Kaepernick set the record for rushing yards for a quarterback in the playoffs with 181 rushing yds against the Green Bay Packers. The 49ers defeated the Packers and Atlanta Falcons in the playoffs and advanced to Super Bowl XLVII, but were denied their sixth Super Bowl win against the Baltimore Ravens, who were coached by John Harbaugh, 34–31.
Rams to host 2018 game in Mexico City
In the final six weeks of the season the 49ers defense shut out three teams , and had one of the most stupendous goal-line stands against the Philadelphia Eagles. In the team's first playoff game in 2 years, they played against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field in the NFC Wild Card, but lost 25–15. After the end of a labor dispute that nearly threatened to postpone or cancel the 2011 season the 49ers made a controversial decision to re-sign Alex Smith to a one-year $4.8 million contract. Because of the decision to retain Smith, and a shortened offseason with an entirely new coaching staff being hired, the team was expected to be among the league's worst by NFL prognosticators. After 10 weeks the 49ers were 9–1, highlighted by road wins against the Philadelphia Eagles, where the team came back from a 20-point deficit in the second half, and the previously unbeaten Detroit Lions.
And if it involves the 49ers trading out a road game for a neutral site game, I’d be happy with that. The Los Angeles Rams will only have seven home games in 2018, with ESPN reporting they will play one of their home games in Mexico City. The Rams decision to relocate to Los Angeles included a requirement that they give up a home game each year for a neutral site until their new stadium opens. The Rams have played in London each of the last two seasons, and reportedly requested the Mexico game instead for 2018. The San Francisco 49ers unveiled their first alternate uniform in franchise history on Thursday night, a black-and-red combination that will supplement their classic red, gold and white look. On August 20, 2011, in the third week of the pre-season, the pre-season game between the rivals was marked by fights in restrooms and stands at Candlestick Park including a shooting outside the stadium in which several were injured.
Cousins, Vikings hold on for 24-16 victory vs. 49ers
They travel to face the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers on back-to-back weeks in September, and then travel to Tampa Bay and Seattle at the end of November. They get three straight home games in Weeks before closing out the season at the Los Angeles Rams. Bosa is in the hunt for the NFL sack title and defensive player of the year consideration, so he’ll figure to keep playing, perhaps with a lighter snap count.
The 49ers were the first major league professional sports franchise based in San Francisco, and are the 10th oldest franchise in the NFL. The team began play at Kezar Stadium in San Francisco before moving to Candlestick Park in 1971, and then to Levi's Stadium in 2014. It’s a bit weird to see this particular contest a prime-time game, but the 49ers’ Week 10 matchup with the New York Giants on Monday Night Football winds up being the most winnable game for the red and gold this upcoming season. Following San Francisco's Week 12 matchup at Tampa Bay, the 49ers do not play outside the Pacific time zone for the remainder of the regular season. The last time San Francisco did not travel outside of the Pacific time zone in the month of December was 2014.

The Niners are 12-3 over their last 15 games on Monday Night Football. San Francisco has won eight consecutive games on Monday Night Football and look to extend the longest streak in franchise history. The 49ers are at home vs. the Cardinals and have won six out of their last nine home games vs. Arizona. The 49ers have won nine out of their last 10 games against Detroit and 14 out of the last 16 overall. The 49ers and Vikings open the season against each other for the first time since the Niners defeated the Vikings, 20-3, to open the 2015 season on ESPN's Monday Night Football. There were loud chants of “De-fense” when the Chargers had the ball.
Jim Tomsula was hired on January 14, 2015, to replace Jim Harbaugh. Subsequently, Geep Chryst was promoted to offensive coordinator and Eric Mangini was hired as defensive coordinator. On March 10, 2015, All-Pro linebacker Patrick Willis announced his retirement from the NFL due to repeated injuries to both feet. A week later on March 17, linebacker Chris Borland, Patrick Willis' presumed replacement, announced his retirement from the NFL due to fears of the effects of head trauma. These two retirements left the 49ers linebackers position group weakened as they headed into an offseason under first year head coach Jim Tomsula.
Passing
In 2016, Kaepernick started a trend of kneeling during the playing of the national anthem. Intended to protest the treatment of minorities in the United States, the trend spread throughout the NFL and stirred political controversy. President Donald Trump spoke out against the protests a number of times, and Vice President Mike Pence walked out of a 49ers game in October 2017 upon seeing players kneel.
The 49ers were also last in the league with a −25 turnover differential, the worst mark since 2008. After finishing 6–10 from an 0–9 start the previous year, the 49ers were looking to improve from that record and make the playoffs for the first time since 2013. The 49ers were eliminated from playoff contention following a Week 13 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. In Week 15, however, the 49ers upset the Seahawks 26–23 in overtime at home, snapping the 49ers' 10–game losing streak to them that dated back to 2013 Playoffs. The win also stopped the Seahawks from clinching a playoff spot that week. The 49ers finished 12–4 in the 2013 regular season and enter the playoffs as a wildcard, with their first game at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers.
The team is named after the prospectors who arrived in Northern California in the 1849 Gold Rush. News Dates and Times for 49ers 2021 Preseason Slate Announced Fans can get their first look at the 49ers in advance of the regular season as the NFL released the dates and times for all three of the team's preseason matchups. San Francisco is scheduled to have five prime time games for the first time since the 2014 season. This marks the first time the 49ers will play three prime time games at home since Levi's® Stadium opened in 2014. Playing a winless Cardinals team desperately seeking a win, the 49ers held rookie QB Josh Rosen in check, but were hurt by five offensive turnovers, one of which resulted in a defensive touchdown for Arizona. The 49ers drop to 1–4 (0–2 since Garoppolo's injury) heading into a Monday Night road game against the Packers.
It was made in the style of 1994, with the letters and numerals larger and more pronounced shadows. The helmets were the solid gold, but were used with the old 49ers logo . The 49ers have won five Super Bowls, their first three under Bill Walsh. Walsh retired after winning his third in 1988, but first-year head coach George Seifert did not miss a beat, winning the Super Bowl in his first year in 1989. The Miami Dolphins traded the No. 3 overall draft in the 2021 NFL Draft to the San Francisco 49ers in exchange for the No. 12 overall pick, a third-round pick in 2022, a first-round pick in 2022 and a first-round pick in 2023. Trey Lance was the backup QB for starter Jimmy Garoppolo, starting two games during the 2021 season.
As noted earlier, Arizona makes for an easy opponent based off the notion they’re going through a massive roster overhaul. Sure, the Cardinals could come into Levi’s Stadium and pull off an upset. Especially if quarterback Sam Bradford is still healthy by Week 5, and he has the full complement of offensive weapons in running back David Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald. Just like our five-toughest-games list, there’s a 49ers opponent from the NFC West appearing here twice. One of those key components, cornerback Aqib Talib, is now with the Niners’ division rivals, the Los Angeles Rams. And while there are plenty of other defensive standouts on Denver’s roster, the Broncos offense probably won’t be good enough to give its counterpart adequate rest.
The 49ers and Rams close out the regular season against one another for the third time in the last four seasons (2015 & 2017). The 49ers and Rams split the season series against the Rams in 2017, with each team winning on the road. Check out an artistic view of the 49ers regular season schedule provided by local Bay Area artists. The 49ers and Chargers have split the overall regular season series, with each team registering seven wins. The 49ers finished with the same overall record and strength of schedule as the Oakland Raiders at the end of the 2017 season, and their selecting order was determined by way of a coin flip at the NFL Scouting Combine in early 2018. Both teams will then rotate with the Miami Dolphins, selecting 9th, 10th and 11th in each round.
Two days later, on January 7, 2011, former head coach of Stanford University Jim Harbaugh was named the 49ers new head coach. In the 2011 NFL Draft, the 49ers selected defensive end/linebacker Aldon Smith from the University of Missouri with the seventh pick of the first round. The 49ers also selected quarterback Colin Kaepernick from the University of Nevada, Reno with the 36th overall pick in the second round.
However, the team missed qualifying for the playoffs by virtue of losing the head-to-head tiebreaker to the Atlanta Falcons, which had beaten the 49ers on a last-second Hail Mary pass earlier in the season. The 1992 and 1993 seasons saw a resurgent 49er team under the leadership of Steve Young, but a subpar and aging defense could only take them to the NFC championship game before falling to the Dallas Cowboys each time. Their 18 wins overall is also still a record, tied by the 1985 Bears and the 2007 New England Patriots .
