Despite a pedestrian season up to this point with a 6-7 record, the San Francisco 49ers still have a legitimate chance to win the NFC division. They seem to be back on the right track after notching a 38-10 win over Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears in their last game.

Deebo Samuel Takes Apparent Shot at Brock Purdy
But despite the 49ers being back on the winning track, not everyone on the team appears to be happy. Most notable is their star wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Samuel had just 2 receptions for 22 yards against the Bears which was much to the chagrin of fantasy owners and bettors.
Deebo apparently heard the noise and responded on social media — appearing to blame San Francisco's starting quarterback Brock Purdy for his recent struggles.
"Not struggling at all just not getting the ball!!!!!" Samuels said in a tweet that has since been deleted.
Trent Williams Gives Honest Take on 49ers
The 49ers were expected to be a serious contender coming off their Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last season. But to this point, they have, for the most part, been surface-level contenders. Though they still have a chance to claim their division depending on how the chips fall.
Some people believe that the 49ers' slew of injuries has been a large part of why they have underperformed this season. But their All-Pro tackle Trent Williams sees things from a different perspective.
"It's a couple of guys that we want to see get more action anyway. Hate that it had to come on the heels of somebody being injured, but this is when opportunities present themselves," Williams said earlier this season.
"Nobody would have known Jordan [Mason] if a couple of guys didn't go down, and nobody would have known Brock if we didn't lose three quarterbacks in one year. So it's a blessing in disguise, and guys just got to be ready to step up and relish in the moment."
