2016 NFL Power Rankings Week 5: Los Angeles Rams Make Statement With 3-1 Record

31. San Francisco 49ers 1-3 (29)

After jumping out to an early 14-0 lead, it seemed like the San Francisco 49ers were on their way to cruising to a big win over the Dallas Cowboys. Instead, the 49ers let this one slip away as the offense simply shut down in the second half while increasing their losing streak to three games.

San Francisco couldn’t even find a way to take advantage of facing Dallas without Dez Bryant as the wide receiver sat out with a knee injury. Instead, it was Ezekiel Elliott that caused all sorts of problems for the 49ers’ defense after allowing the rookie to finish with 138 rushing yards while averaging 6.0 yards per carry.

There were plenty of questions surrounding Blaine Gabbert heading into Sunday’s game when it comes to whether he would deserve to be the starter if San Francisco came up on the losing end. With a 1-3 record heading into Week 5, let all the discussions begin on whether Chip Kelly should switch it up at quarterback by going with Colin Kaepernick instead of Gabbert.

Then again, with the way the 49ers have been playing over the last three weeks, does it even matter who is playing quarterback at this point?
