Return of the Empire: Do-or-Die Time in Seattle

Week 5 saw another heartbreaking loss for the 49ers, now 2-3 to open the 2024 season. Is this the year we see the dynasty crumble in San Francisco? Or, can they get back on track in Week 6? Return of the Empire breaks it down.

On the latest episode of the Return of the Empire podcast, Amil Fragoso and Nate Littlefield react to the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 5 loss to the Arizona Cardinals, and dissect what went wrong another late-game collapse. They also discuss the latest on the injury front, look ahead to Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks, and how the rest of the season could play out if things don’t change.

Also, is Christian McCaffrey’s absence the only problem for SF? All that & much more on the Return of the Empire.
