you get a lead like that in the fourth quarter, what was it, 30-13, i was just telling our guys some things are out of your control, but usually when you get into that type of lead you can control the outcome of the game, and we allowed them to get back into it where it wasn't in our hands. you can't allow that to happen. we should've put them away earlier than that and we didn't." the 49ers... will now visit the red-hot chiefs in kansas city. the niners front office had said they were making calls for receiver josh gordon... and the browns were trying to get him to an nfc team. however, cleveland ended up sending their star wideout to the new england patriots for a 5th-round pick. this could go either way because gordon has the ability to be a number one receiver with big play ability... áhowever, he's only appeared in 41-games since 2012 due to repeated substance abuse problems. finally, coaching change for the san jose earthquakes. mikhael staer...no longer the manager of san jose...less than a year after first being hired. it's been a brutal season for the club... as
