This year's Niners squad drops to 11-3 with two games remaining.
Despite the setback this weekend, the 49ers still look to finish the season strong and possibly secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, ensuring that a trip to the Super Bowl goes through Santa Clara. They may require some help from other teams, though.

Next up for San Francisco are two division matchups. First, a home game against the Rams and then a trip to CenturyLink Field to face the Seahawks.
