49ers RB Christian McCaffrey<\/strong> <\/strong>hurt and hurt after the team failed to make it to Seattle in the playoffs. It’s been a true ironman season for him, as he’s battled through injuries to lead the league in tackles and play in 17 games for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n “The amazing emotional state you go through,”<\/em> McCaffrey said, via Vic Tafur of The Athletic. “Everything you’ve been through with this team for what seems like 25 straight weeks. And then you’re done … it takes time to process everything.<\/em> In all my years of playing, this is one of the games I’m proudest to be a part of. I love everyone in that locker room. This was one of the hardest years of my life. I had to overcome many obstacles, and (last) Jan. 1, I was reshaping and reshaping my hips every day. There wasn’t much time to rest. When I look back at all the people who helped me and the people who were with me every step of the way and believed in me when most people didn’t, I appreciate that. Thank you very much. \u2026 But again, it’s hard to process everything right now. It hurts to lose.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n “I think this has been one of the most impressive seasons for an individual player, in terms of how hero and hero he is week in and week out,”<\/em> HC Kyle Shanahan<\/strong> he said praising McCaffrey. “A Christian finds a way every week. He commits himself 24 hours a day, seven days a week to repair his body,” Shanahan said. “I’ve never been in a place like that. This guy was unbelievable. … His dedication is to empty the tank every single game …”<\/em><\/p>\n Panthers GM Dan Morgan<\/strong> announced that they have decided to make QB work Bryce Young<\/strong>Fifth year option for 2027. Morgan thinks it’s Young “show the light of greatness”<\/em> and look forward to him developing along with their other attacking players. <\/p>\n “I think Bryce has shown his brilliance this year in a high-level tournament,”<\/em> Morgan said, via Joseph Person of The Athletic. “As a team, we didn’t change the way we wanted to play from game to game. … I think Bryce did a great job this year and he’s very excited to be moving forward and still developing chemistry with our receivers and the pieces around him.”<\/em><\/p>\n Morgan saw a steady improvement in Young in 2025. <\/p>\n “I felt like he had a lot of command this year, and he’s just coming on his own and getting better every week and attacking every day,”<\/em> Morgan said. “And that’s all you can ask of any player, let alone your quarterback.”<\/em><\/p>\n Rams HC Sean McVay<\/strong> he was critical of his play calling, which cost the team the first drive of overtime, but fortunately, they were able to come away with the win and advance to the NFC Championship game.<\/p>\n “We’re starting, you feel like you’re getting a little boost,”<\/em> McVay said, via Pro Football Talk. “I make a bad call on third down and 1. There’s no reason for that. I should have used a timeout. They did a good job of having a good call there, and we have to answer it.”<\/em><\/p>\n “I didn’t like the feeling of the flow of the game that I had, except for the first series where our guys did a good job,”<\/em> McVay added. “Defensively, it kept us there, despite not doing well for our team. But like I said, I’m very thankful that this team was able to find a way, stick with it, and be able to overcome my bad training tonight.”<\/em><\/p>\n Make sure you follow along NFL Trade Rumors<\/strong><\/span> to X.com <\/strong><\/span>again FACEBOOK <\/strong><\/span>breaking NFL News and rumors for all 32 teams!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey hurt and hurt after the team failed to make it to Seattle in the playoffs.
