When we last examined the San Francisco 49ers' bad luck in 2023, they were among the league's worst teams. Not much has changed since then, except that they have gotten worse.
Data guru Tom Bliss posted his annual luck stats for the 2024 NFL season. The 49ers didn’t improve, in fact they got worse. Only the Atlanta Falcons, Green Bay Packers, and Seattle Seahawks did worse. The Seahawks having worse luck than the 49ers seems strange, considering their luck has been a punchline in these parts, but according to this, they were more unlucky than the 49ers.
