The San Francisco 49ers have little time to dwell on a heartbreaking loss to Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers.The Niners have to immediately shift their focus to another tough test with the undefeated Los Angeles Rams coming to town on Sunday.Coach Kyle Shanahan spent Tuesday morning going over the details of the previous night's 33-30 loss to the Packers that featured Rodgers throwing the game-tying touchdown pass with 1:55 to play and then leading the game-winning field goal drive after an interception by C.J. Beathard.Then it was quickly on to the Rams (6-0) Authentic Wil Lutz Jersey , the NFL's only remaining unbeaten team, who will take on the 49ers (1-5) in just five days."Short weeks are always tough, but sometimes it can be a good thing," Shanahan said. "Last night was a heartbreaking loss. Our guys came out and I thought played extremely aggressive, very confident and gave it their all. Whenever you do that, it gave us a chance to win that game and we came up short. That's tough. The guys put a lot into it and that's hard. You get back here and it hurts a little bit today, but the good thing is, you've got to move on faster. There's no time to sit here and sulk."The Niners had their chances to earn their first win in three games since losing starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to a season-ending knee injury on Sept. 23.Beathard threw two TD passes in the first half in his best performance of the season to help the Niners build a 24-20 lead. Raheem Mostert provided a boost to a running game that gained 174 yards. The defense limited Rodgers to two field goals during a seven-drive stretch starting in the second quarter.But it wasn't enough. Rodgers picked on backup cornerback Greg Mabin to lead the tying TD drive capped by a 16-yard pass to Davante Adams.The 49ers then took over at their 47 with 1:49 to go after a personal foul on the kickoff return. Needing just 20 yards to get into field-goal range Womens Cameron Jordan Jersey , Beathard completed a 7-yard pass to George Kittle on first down, had a pass batted down at the line on second down and then took a deep shot against the blitz on third down that turned into the interception by Kevin King.By not running the ball on second or third down, the Niners gave Rodgers 1:07 to drive for the winning field goal and he delivered."If I were to have it back, yeah, I'd love to call something that worked," Shanahan said. "But, then when you get into third-and-3 versus an all-out blitz, there's not many runs for that. That was the play that we didn't make right there and that's what happened. But Authentic Ted Ginn Jr Jersey , you're always concerned about giving it back to Aaron. I thought we had a chance to win the game right there. I know our defense struggled in the first half definitely. I was happy with how they rebounded in the second half and they gave us a chance on offense to put them away. I thought that was our biggest opportunity right there and we came up short."The 49ers made a roster move Tuesday, signing Tom Savage to a one-year deal to be the team's No. 3 quarterback.San Francisco has been looking for help at quarterback ever since Garoppolo went down with his injury last month. Beathard was promoted to starter and Nick Mullens was elevated from the practice squad to be the backup.Savage was originally drafted by Houston in the fourth round in 2014. Savage played 13 games with nine starts in four seasons with the Texans. He completed 181 of 315 attempts for 2,000 yards, five touchdowns and seven interceptions. He spent training camp with New Orleans before being cut Sept. 1."There's one thing I always liked about Savage, from coming out of college. He's got a strong arm. He's a very tough player. He hangs in that pocket and plays the position well," Shanahan said. "I was a fan of his coming out of college. He's gotten to play in a number of NFL games so he's been battle-tested. He was in a tough situation in Houston that didn't work out for him, but I got to study him this preseason when he was in New Orleans and they have some similarities in their offense as ours."NOTES: CB K'Waun Williams (shoulder), CB Ahkello Witherspoon (concussion) and CB Jimmie Ward (hamstring) are all day to day. ... The 49ers waived TE Cole Wick to make room on the 53-man roster for Savage. ... OL Zack Golditch was released from the practice squad. Mike Tomlin isn't going to complain about the officiating. Or lament the turnovers and missed opportunities over the last month that have the Pittsburgh Steelers on the outside of the playoffs looking in heading into Week 17.The longtime head coach doesn't see the point in it. Spending too much time looking back and not enough time looking forward can be just as dangerous as any of the missteps or handful of questionable calls that have hit the Steelers (8-6-1) during a slide that's seen them drop four of five to fall behind Baltimore for the top spot in the AFC North."The bottom line is when they're done Womens Ken Crawley Jersey , they're done, you move on," Tomlin said Tuesday. "What truly defines you (are) the plays that lie ahead."Maybe, but the sting of a 31-28 loss on the road in New Orleans on Sunday could linger well into the offseason if Pittsburgh can't slip past the Ravens to reach the playoffs for the fifth straight year. The Steelers need to beat Cincinnati and hope Cleveland beats Baltimore on the road after letting another fourth-quarter lead slip away against the Saints.Pittsburgh had its chances. But its final three possessions in New Orleans ended with two fumbles sandwiched around a fake punt in which up back Roosevelt Nix was stopped a foot short of a first down that would have allowed the Steelers to bleed the clock. The Saints responded by driving for the go-ahead score, one abetted by a fourth-down pass interference call against cornerback Joe Haden that gave New Orleans a first down.Several Steelers contended Drew Brees' pass intended for Michael Thomas was tipped at the line, which would have negated the penalty. The league reviewed it and agreed with the call on the field. So did Tomlin, at least to a point: Tomlin doesn't believe defensive end Stephon Tuitt got a hand on the ball either, but did offer an addendum."I also don't believe it was (pass interference) Womens Alex Anzalone Jersey ," he said.It was the second pass interference call against Haden on the day. He drew a 33-yard penalty in the first quarter when officials ruled he illegally prevented New Orleans running back Alvin Kamara from trying to haul in a Brees pass that sailed well over the head of both players. New Orleans running back Mark Ingram bulled over from 1 yard on the next play.Tomlin, a member of the NFL's competition committee known to critique the officiating at times, refused to blame his team's current position on one iffy call. Asked to describe how a team responds to a tough break, the father of three shrugged."How do you deal with it when your kids don't listen?" Tomlin said. "You move on. You focus on the things within your control."That's an approach 鈥?for this week anyway 鈥?that might not have any impact on whether the Steelers play into January. The beat-up Bengals (6-9) have won a single game since Halloween and oddsmakers have already made Pittsburgh a heavy favorite. Yet, even a convincing win won't matter if the Ravens turn back the Browns and the season-ending matchup between Indianapolis and Tennessee on Sunday night ends in a tie.Tomlin pointed out Sunday won't be any different than any other weekend, when the results from other games have a ripple effect on the course of Pittsburgh's season. It's just that it will be monitored more closely. He's got enough to worry about without spending the day glancing up at the scoreboard.The loss in New Orleans wasn't much different than most of the five defeats that came before it. The Steelers turned over the ball more than they took it away and couldn't get a defensive stop when they absolutely needed one.Five of Pittsburgh's six losses have come by a touchdown or less. The margin for error is small. Too often the Steelers have been on the wrong side it."We're not going to make it to be something mystical, or pretend it's something out of our control," Tomlin said. "It is preparation Womens Terron Armstead Jersey , detail, schematics, coaching. All of those things are very tangible. We've fallen short for a variety or myriad of reasons."NOTES: S Sean Davis (quadriceps) and LB Vince Williams (toe) could be limited early in the week after getting hurt in New Orleans. ... Tomlin is optimistic RB James Conner could be available. Conner has missed each of the last three games. ... Tomlin defended his decision to call for a fake punt on fourth-and-5 at the Pittsburgh 42 with just over four minutes to play. "We're not going to play not to lose," Tomlin said. "We're going to play to win. The guys understand it. That's just how we live." Custom Atlanta Falcons Jerseys
