Ever since the season opener, the results for the San Francisco 49ers haven't changed each week: 10 straight losses for the worst skid in franchise history.
Instead of looking at the very surface of award talk, let's take a deeper look at some of the less talked about awards.
The Atlanta Falcons, who lead the NFC South with one of the NFL's hottest offenses, just seem to get better each week.
The San Francisco 49ers have been a very different team in the last three weeks. Yes, they lost again on Sunday, this time in Miami to the Dolphins by a 31-24 score. But this was the second loss by a touchdown or less in the last three weeks.
On Sunday afternoon in the Bay Area, Oakland outlasted the defending NFC Champion Carolina Panthers 35-32 by mounting another fourth-quarter comeback, which advanced the AFC West leading Raiders to a record of 9-2.
The San Francisco 49ers have the worst defense in the NFL this season, both in points allowed and yards allowed. However, the team may get a boost on Sunday in Miami against the Dolphins, as linebacker Aaron Lynch could be ready to return from a month-long absence due to an ankle injury. Also, defensive back Jimmie Ward is questionable after experiencing concussion-like symptoms against the New England Patriots last week. The 49ers defense will need all the help it can get on Sunday in Miami.
For the Raiders, the path an AFC West title and more is rather simply laid out. With a one-game lead over both Kansas City and Denver, Oakland (8-2) simply has to win out in order to claim its first division crown in more than a decade.
The Chiefs are good at everything rather than great at any one thing, and that's how they remain competitive in the brutal AFC West.
As you recover from all that turkey and various sumptuous sides, here's the best that sports has to offer you this holiday weekend.
Sitting in first place in the AFC West at 8-2, the Raiders can't afford to slip up and let the Broncos or Chiefs eliminate the one-game lead that they hold in the division.
In 2011, the San Francisco 49ers defense gave up just 14.3 points per game in the regular season, as the team went 13-3 and hosted the NFC Championship Game. In every season since then, however, the 49ers have gotten a little less intimidating on defense to the point that the San Francisco defense is the worst in the NFL in 2016. The team is giving up 31.3 points per game this year, which is a big reason for a nine-game losing streak that has the 49ers headed toward their worst season since 2004.

The Oakland Raiders are 7-2 and tied for first place among AFC West Division teams. Now, thanks to the great timing of its bye week, Oakland also is a very healthy football team as it looks to close strong in the final seven games of the NFL regular season.

Few defenses embrace the challenge of facing quarterback Tom Brady and the New England Patriots offense, especially when injuries have depleted the starting lineup and the backup units.

The 49ers have the worst defense in the NFL, and with several defensive players still injured and on the mend, it's not the best time to face Brady and all his offensive weapons.
