NFL week 12: San Francisco 49ers beat Carolina Panthers to boost play-off hopes
San Francisco 49ers registered back-to-back wins for the first time since September by overcoming the Carolina Panthers 20-9 on Monday.
Running back Christian McCaffrey ran for 89 yards and a touchdown against his former team as the 49ers, who are third in the NFC West, boosted their play-off hopes with victory in Santa Clara, California.
McCaffrey, 29, who also had 24 carries and caught seven passes for 53 yards, was traded from the Panthers to the 49ers in October 2022.
Starting 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy struggled in the first half as he was intercepted three times in the opening 21 minutes, which halted his side’s early offensive progress.

BART equipment issue near West Oakland disrupts service on Red, Green lines
BART service on the Red Line and Green Line is being disrupted during the Monday morning commute due to an equipment issue, officials said.
The agency said shortly after 7 a.m. that the issue involves an issue on the track near the West Oakland station. As a result, there is no Red Line service between Millbrae and Richmond and there is no Green Line service between Berryessa station in North San Jose and Daly City.
All stations on the system are open as of Monday morning.
Green Line passengers heading to San Francisco are urged to board a Richmond-bound train and transfer at Bayfair to a Daly City train. Meanwhile passengers heading to Berryessa from San Francisco can board a Dublin/Pleasanton train and transfer at Bayfair to a Berryessa train.
For Red Line passengers heading to Millbrae from Richmond, riders are urged to take an Orange Line train heading to Berryessa and transfer at MacArthur to a Yellow Line train for SFO.
It was not immediately known when full service on the Green Line or Red Line would be restored.
Monday’s disruption comes three days after service between South Hayward and Berryessa stations was disrupted due to a vandalism incident. The agency has faced increased scrutiny in recent months over multiple hours-long service disruptions.

San Francisco Playhouse brings ‘Into the Woods’ to Union Square for the holidays
SAN FRANCISCO – A new production of the Broadway classic “Into the Woods” is bringing a dose of magic — and a reminder about the power of community — to Union Square this holiday season.
San Francisco Playhouse is staging the Stephen Sondheim musical now through mid-January.
What they’re saying:
Co-founder and producing director Susie Damilano said the show’s blend of childhood fairy tales and adult consequences feels especially resonant this year.
“It’s all the fairy tales we grew up with,” Damilano said. “In Act One we see the characters’ wishes come true. In Act Two, we see the consequences. It reminds us to be careful what we wish for.”
At the center of the production is a new story thread involving a baker and his wife longing to have a child.
Damilano said the woods themselves become a metaphor for the characters’ journeys — mystical and inviting in some moments, dark and tangled in others.
“I decided that having magical, mystical woods would be the way to go,” she said. “They represent our collective unconscious… beautiful, but with a lot of tangled things in there, just like our own minds.”
Damilano said she cried the first time she saw the full production come together, moved by the design team’s work and the emotional weight of the story.
“It just takes my breath away,” she said. “This show touches us deep in our soul. It reminds us how important community is.”
Big picture view:
The production arrives at a time when many theaters are still struggling in the aftermath of the pandemic.
Damilano said San Francisco Playhouse feels fortunate and energized by audiences returning to the city’s core.
“We’re filling our houses,” she said. “Union Square is coming back to life. People are out playing chess and ping pong again, the Christmas tree is up, there’s ice skating. It feels good.”
With its familiar characters and themes of family, loss, and longing, “Into the Woods” is designed to be a holiday-friendly experience for all ages.
“Into the Woods” runs through Jan. 17 at San Francisco Playhouse in Union Square. Tickets and show times are available at sfplayhouse.org.
