For Colin Kaepernick and the San Francisco 49ers, about the only thing left to play for is avoiding the worst season in the franchise’s proud history.
It was another Sunday to forget for the five-time Super Bowl champions, who were blown out by the Atlanta Falcons 41-13 to extend a team record with their 13th straight loss.
The 49ers (1-13) gave up touchdowns on four of Atlanta’s first five possessions, the home team’s only slipup coming when Devonta Freeman fumbled inside the 1 just before powering into the end zone.
San Francisco managed a couple of impressive drives before halftime, both ending with touchdown passes from Kaepernick, but still trailed 28-13. The 49ers were totally stifled after the break, managing just four first downs and 85 yards.
