Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and the San Francisco 49ers will face the Buffalo Bills and quarterback Josh Allen, who’s fresh off an engagement to longtime girlfriend Hailee Steinfeld. It’s a desperation spot for the Niners in their ultra-competitive and still-up-for-grabs NFC West. It’s another opportunity for James Cook, Khalil Shakir, Dawson Knox &co. […]
