The 49ers save their season (for now), Steve Smith gets revenge and Teddy Bridgewater rises like a phoenix from Matt Cassel’s ashes. Oh yeah, and Antonio Brown? He’s kind of good, that guy. 10.

Jim Armstrong: With each passing day I’m finding myself more and more disgusted with the National Football League. Rory Goulding was incredibly accurate and prescient in his assessment of Roger Goodell’s 8-year reign over the NFL in last week’s Thursday picks post: he’s been dreadful as the league’s commissioner.
