Not exactly. The 49ers scored first, on a 33-yard Phil Dawson field goal that was set up by a Tyrod Taylor fumble at the Bills’ 28. It was the 49ers’ fifth consecutive loss. Bills head coach Rex Ryan is a supporter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who has spoken out against Kaepernick and the Black Lives Matter movement during the campaign. “They’re not disappointing me, they’re not disappointing anybody”. An impressive figure when you consider their offense and defense has been on the field for 666 plays. It’s not just the quarterback. “I thought he really made some plays with his legs today”.

“I’m not anxious about that kind of figure”, Ryan said, referring to Kaepernick transcending football and entering the national political discussion with his public stance against racial oppression and police brutality. Kaepernick under-threw Smith, but the Bills blew the coverage in a big way.
RB DeMarco Murray: The Titans have the best rushing attack and face a Browns team allowing more than 110 yards per game on the ground. “I evaluate him from here going forward”.

McCoy insisted that his position had nothing to do with Colin Kaepernick’s protest against the over-policing of African-American communities.
“I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color”, Kaepernick said, via NFL.com.

Kaepernick wasn’t ready to say whether he’s earned that opportunity either.
