Not getting off the field on those two third-and-longs proved costly for the 49ers defense. Rodgers-to-Wilson took over that drive

Jets looked to be stubborn about the run early. Rodgers doesn't have a great history against 49ers' defensive front, which once feasted on stationary QBs. But those third-down pickups gave life to the Jets passing game. And their offensive line held up well protecting Rodgers

Personal note: This is my last column for The Athletic. I'm not changing up what I do, just changing companies--will announce that in a few days--but I want to say that starting @theathleticsf was the best job I ever had, working with most of the best people I will ever know.

A few years ago, I told the founders--Alex Mather and Adam Hansmann--that 2 non-media guys somehow put together the greatest sports newsroom ever assembled. It remains an incredible place. What Alex and Adam built will last for a hundred years.

Being able to start @theathleticsf and work with Alex and Adam -- and living through all the inevitable changes at the company -- made me eager to do something like that again in the Bay Area. I've got that feeling again with a new place. It's a great feeling.

Fact: I wouldn’t have responded to The Athletic in 2016 if not for TK. Spent a decade at least working closely with Tim Kawakami on a vision and purpose, mostly crafted by him. Taught me so much. Listening to TK has gotten me far. You made Bay history. Forever grateful for you

Some news: I have written my final article as a Knicks beat writer. Starting today, I become a Senior NBA writer for The Athletic, focusing on national stories around the league. Knicks fans will be excited to know the great James L. Edwards III is taking over the Knicks beat for us.

Deebo Samuel came out of Sunday's game with a calf strain and will miss "a couple" of weeks, Kyle Shanahan said. Shanahan said Samuel hurt the calf late -- TV cameras caught him grimacing as he came off the field.
