Niners May Have a Chance to Pick Up Second Victory

Dec 9, 2016 at 9:15 AM--


The 49ers will be in a strange situation Sunday.San Francisco, which has lost 11 consecutive games since the season opener, benched its starting quarterback in an ugly loss to the Bears last weekend and is in the hunt for the worst record in the NFL for 2016, will be the favorite against the New York Jets at Levi's Stadium.Oddsmakers have made the 49ers 2½- to 3-point favorites over the Jets.While the Niners have been worse than the Jets this season, the team from New York/New Jersey hasn't been much better -- and now it has to travel cross-country. Young quarterback Bryce Petty will be making just the second start of his pro career, and his performance in a 41-10 loss to the Colts last week wasn't encouraging. He completed just 44 percent of his passes (11-of-25) for 135 yards and a touchdown, was picked off twice and sacked once. His quarterback rating was just 41.2.

The Niners could also continue bolstering things on the defensive side of the football. Adding to the defensive back, defensive line, or linebacker groups remains possibilities. Pro Football Focus analyst Brad Spielberger released his latest mock draft and doesn't have the 49ers drafting at any of those positions. Instead, he has the team adding a bit of an insurance policy on offense, drafting former Georgia wide receiver

The latest mock draft comes from Charles Davis, who has San Francisco addressing the offensive line, strengthening a unit that showed inconsistency last season.
