  49ers' Deebo Samuel Sr. scores on 76-yard touchdown SEATTLE -- The 49ers finally figured out the cure for their red zone woes early in the second quarter of Thursday's game against the  Seattle Seahawks . The answer? Don't run any plays there. After their first drive stalled out at Seattle's 7 and they had to settle for a field goal, the 49ers got a much-needed lightning strike on their third possession. On first-and-10 from their 24, Niners coach Kyle Shanahan dialed up a play-action pass as quarterback  Brock Purdy  faked the handoff to running back  Jordan Mason , flipped his hips and lofted one down the left sideline for receiver  Deebo Samuel Sr . As Seahawks safety  Julian Love  closed in, Samuel jumped and made the catch with Love getting a piece of neither the ball nor Samuel. Samuel took care of the rest, racing 53 yards after hauling it in for the 76-yard touchdown. DEEBO SAMUEL BREAKS AWAY FOR THE 76-YARD TD. #SFvsSEA  on Prime V...

Illustration: Sarah Grillo/Axios Tesla is poised to  debut its long-awaited robotaxi Thursday night  — and possibly an update on its humanoid robot — in a reveal that will require observers to separate sizzle from substance. Why it matters:  Tesla CEO  Elon Musk  has described self-driving car technology and AI robots as essential to the company's current stock valuation and its future. The big picture:  The company is widely expected to  debut the so-called Cybercab  at an event at Warner Bros. Studios in Hollywood. The name of the event — "We, Robot" — says a lot, but Tesla has said little about what it will actually reveal. The hype  is already feverish — with even analysts who disagree on Tesla acknowledging the gravity of the moment. Bernstein analyst A.M. (Toni) Sacconaghi, Jr., a Tesla bear, said it may be "among the most anticipated corporate announcements ever." Wedbush Securities analyst Dan Ives, a Tesla bull, said there've been ...

A solar storm hit Earth. Will the U.S. see aurora tonight? A “severe” geomagnetic storm hit Thursday morning and may last until nighttime in the U.S., providing good aurora viewing. A solar storm hit Earth on Thursday and brought beautiful displays of the northern lights to dark skies farther south than normal. The timing of the storm provided a great show for Europe, but those in North America could also see the dazzling lights if the storm persists into nighttime. The storm was classified “severe” (ranked 4 out of 5 in severity) as of Thursday afternoon, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Forecasts show the storm could continue through Friday morning, but the timing could change as more data comes in. The agency said there is even a slight chance of “extreme” storming (ranked 5 out of 5) — a rare level only seen twice in about the past two decades. “It is looking really good for strong aurora tonight” in the United States, said Alex Young, a solar phy...
