31. San Francisco 49ers (1-13)

The San Francisco 49ers’ one-win season continues after a loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. San Fran was getting blown out right from the start, as the Falcons scored 21 first quarter points on a touchdown run from Devonta Freeman and two touchdown passes from Matt Ryan. The Niners did come back in the second quarter and put 13 points on the board, but that was all the scoring San Fran would do for the game. The Falcons outscored the Niners 13-0 in the second half and the Niners will go into Week 16 with just a single “W” on the season.

On the bright side, the Browns also lost so the Niners are still one game ahead of the worst team in the NFL. All kidding aside, this is just a bad team and it comes as no surprise they got destroyed by a Falcons team battling to make the playoffs. The last two weeks of the season will see the Niners take on two division foes, the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks. The Niners got their only win of the season against the Rams, and with the way Los Angeles is stinking it up this season, the Niners could be in-line for win No. 2. While it appears head coach Chip Kelly is safe for 2017, he’s going to need a vast improvement to keep his job beyond that, although that shouldn’t be hard with the Niners playing some of the worst football this franchise has ever seen.
