It was another tough loss for the undermanned but game San Francisco squad, as it squandered an early 14-3 lead to lose by a touchdown or less for the fifth time this season. The 49ers finished the year with a 2-14 mark, tying the worst record in franchise history previously set three times.

Two NFC West rivals in dismal states meet at the Coliseum on Saturday. The stakes are minimal, and the statistics are gruesome.
