‘”When you’re playing 1 p.m. games, I think there’s a routine part of it, which is nice. There’s nothing better than playing at home on a 1 o’clock afternoon and being able to get home [afterwards] to spend time with their families. … With that said, though, this is what you want. This is how we built the program to be. The better you get, the more prime time games you have. I think it’s an exciting time for our fanbase. We’ll be getting back Tuesday morning about 6 a.m. and try to get ready on a short week for the [Pittsburgh] Steelers a week from now, and then after that, no week is really the same.’

8 things to watch for in Bills at 49ers | Week 13
‘”Nick Mullens is more effective when Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Raheem Mostert are in the lineup,” said NBCSports.com 49ers beat reporter Matt Maiocco in an appearance on ‘One Bills Live’. “Those are three guys who certainly help. Aiyuk is a very polished wide receiver, so they have two young guys who do a lot of the same things. They can run routes at any level and they do a lot of passes behind the line of scrimmage with Samuel. And Mostert is a guy who is in scoring position anytime he touches the ball. But pairing Samuel and Aiyuk together is something Kyle Shanahan will be learning on the fly because they haven’t been on the field much together due to injury.”‘

In this league, I take everything with a grain of salt. That’s not the tip of the iceberg and personal accolades are not what we play for, not what I play for, so if we can continue to build and play good football as we have been, we’ll reach our ultimate goal.”’
