COMMUNITY CORNER THREE-HEADED MONSTER In RBs Raheem Mostert (662), Matt Breida (607) and Tevin Coleman (500), the 49ers are 1 of 2 teams in the NFL to have at least 3 players with 500-or-more rushing yds. on the season (Bal. - 3 players). The 2019 season marks the 2nd time in franchise history that San Francisco has at least 3 players with 500-or-more rushing yds. in a single season (1954 - 3 players). In 1954, three of the four mem- bers of the “Million Dollar Backfield” had more than 500 rushing yds. in Joe Perry (1,049), John Henry Johnson (681) and Hugh McElhenny (515). The San Francisco 49ers had 4 players selected to the 2020 Pro Bowl in Orlando, FL, with DL Nick Bosa (1x), FB Kyle Juszczyk (4x), TE George Kittle (2x) and CB Richard Sherman (5x) select- ed as starters.

ORLANDO BOUND With 112 rec. yds. this week vs. LAR (12/21/19), TE George Kittle would reach 1,000 rec. yds. for the 2nd-consecutive season. He would become the 5th player in franchise history to post multiple 1,000-yd. rec. seasons in their career (WR Jerry Rice - 12 seasons; WR Terrell Owens - 5 seasons; WR Anquan Boldin - 2 seasons; WR John Taylor - 2 seasons). Kittle has registered 100-or-more rec. yds. in each of his last 2 games against the Rams and 3 of his 5 career matchups. RB Raheem Mostert has registered 1 rushing TD in each of the past 4 games. With 1-or-more rushing TD this week vs. LAR (12/21/19), he would become the 4th player in franchise history to register 1-or-more rushing TD in at least 5-consecutive games and the first since RB Derek Loville accomplished the feat in 6-straight games in Weeks 10-15 of the 1995 season [RB Joe Perry - 7 games (1953-54); RB Hugh McElhenny - 5 games (1954)]. The 49ers have scored 419 points this season, the 2nd-most in the NFL (Bal. - 472). With 7 points scored in the 1st Qtr. this week, the Niners would become the first team in the NFL to register 100-or- more points in all 4 Qtrs. this season. It would mark the first time since the 1994 season that the 49ers would score 100-or-more points in all 4 Qtrs. in a season. In addition to NFL Network, fans can watch this week’s 49ers vs. Rams game locally on NBC Bay Area/KNTV Channel 11.
