We’ve changed seasons, turned back our clocks, elected a president and recognized Columbus Day, Halloween and Thanksgiving since the 49ers last won a game.
And now it appears we could celebrate Christmas, ring in 2017 and witness a presidential inauguration, among many other major events, before the 49ers do it again.
On Sunday, the 49ers squandered their best chance to avoid a 1-15 season by losing an 11-point, fourth-quarter lead in a 23-17 overtime loss to a fellow featherweight, the New York Jets, at Levi’s Stadium. The latest loss came nearly three months to the day of their Week 1 triumph and extended their franchise-record losing streak to 12.
