Here’s what Nick Bosa told Baker Mayfield after interception late in 49ers-Bucs

Nick Bosa played down any rivalry with Baker Mayfield this week ahead of the 49ers’ game against Mayfield’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers.That didn’t stop him, however, from sharing a few words with Mayfield after the quarterback threw a tipped-pass interception in the endzone as the Buccaneers attempted to make a comeback in the 49ers’ eventual 27-14 win.Reporter Cam Inman asked Bosa in the 49ers’ locker room if he had consoled Mayfield after the turnover, but the reigning Defensive Player of the Year said he was instead explaining an NFL rule to his former rival.“No, he was (complaining) to the ref and I told him there’s no horsecollar in the pocket,” Bosa said. “He thought he got roughed.”Sure enough, NFL rules stipulate that a horsecollar tackle — in which a defender tackles a player by grabbing the back of his shoulder pads or jersey — is not penalized within the tackle box or pocket. Bosa hit Mayfield on the play i...

Instant analysis of 49ers’ 27-14 win over Bucs entering NFC gantlet

SANTA CLARA – Now that the 49ers emphatically held serve on their home field, they’ll look to parlay Sunday’s 27-14 win over Tampa Bay into more success entering this season’s most daunting stretch.They certainly are in prime shape for a third straight playoff run, judging from quarterback Brock Purdy’s perfect passer rating Sunday, running back Christian McCaffrey’s rediscovered scoring knack, and the defense’s prowess that must forge ahead without safety Talanoa Hufanga.For the second straight season, the 49ers (7-3) have just a four-day turnaround after playing the Bucs before visiting the Seattle Seahawks, this time for a Thanksgiving night affair with first place on the line. After that comes an NFC Championship Game rematch Dec. 3 at the conference-leading Philadelphia Eagles, before a Dec. 10 return to Levi’s Stadium to face the Seahawks and possibly decide the NFC West.“November is when the (stuff) really starts. We know that,” defensive end Nick Bosa said....

Column: F1 hits the jackpot in Las Vegas on its $500 million gamble after many stumbles on the Strip

LAS VEGAS (AP) — There were missteps and mistakes, and a master class in how not to handle customer relations. But by the time Justin Bieber waved the checkered flag on Formula One’s return to Las Vegas, the $500 million Sin City gamble had hit the jackpot. F1 and owner Liberty Media hosted an electrifying event Saturday night that turned out to be both one of the best races of the season and a glitzy international spectacle that can only be pulled off in Las Vegas. It was like a show with poor reviews that suddenly becomes an overnight hit. Max Verstappen trashed the race every chance he got, but the LVGP delivered for the eventual winner and he was singing “Viva Las Vegas!” as he won for the 18th time this season. He was an instant Las Vegas convert.Verstappen said he’d have to analyze the rest of the season before declaring Saturday night the best race of the year, but smiled and said: “It was a fun race. I enjoyed it.”Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez even s...
