With nine seconds left in the 4th quarter, Kaepernick dove into the huddle for an attempted touchdown keeper only for SF linebacker James Laurinaitis to emerge with the ball. This marked Niners’ first win in San Francisco since 2007, with the final score 13-10. [USA Today] Roc Nation announced Sunday that they picked up Dez Bryant. The Dallas Cowboys’ wide receiver joined Jay Z’s sports agency after Bryant snipped ties with his former agent, Eugene Parker.
