Return of the Empire: A statement win in the Sunshine State

After a week of rest and recovery, the 49ers, determined to right the ship, traveled to Jacksonville in Week 10 and walked away with a commanding win.

On the latest episode of the “Return of the Empire” podcast, Amil Fragoso and Nate Littlefield recap the 49ers’ Week 10 win over the Jaguars. They also preview who could be the odd man out in contract extensions after the 2023 NFL season and what Week 11 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers brings.

Also, are Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams the most important players for the 49ers’ offense? All that & much more on the Return of the Empire.

“I think getting them back is just a boost for our offense mentally just because they’re two leaders of our team, they’re both two captains, what they bring to the game,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said about the pair.

“I think guys just love having them out there. I don’t think the game unfolded much that way. Trent, by no means, [was] close to 100 percent. I thought it was pretty courageous just to be able to battle throughout that game. Deebo didn’t get involved that much. I know he got that reverse, but he didn’t get too much more. So I don’t think it had a huge impact on the game, but just the way it unfolded. Our players, I think, knowing they were going to be out there always gives them more confidence.”
