San Francisco 49ers fans are likely waking up Monday morning hoping to forget about last night's heartbreaking 30-27 loss to the New York Giants. It was a loss that knocked the 49ers down to 1-4, the worst record among NFC West teams.
QB Colin Kaepernick, being optimistic about the season, says the 49ers still have an opportunity to go 12-4 this season. Of course, this loss was the 49ers' fourth straight following their season opening victory against the Minnesota Vikings.
Pro Football Focus rated 49ers C Marcus Martin (-5.8) as the worst center during Week 5. Here are some other fast facts from various sources following last night's loss.
