The 4-10 San Francisco 49ers will spend their weekend after Christmas heading to Detroit to take on the 5-9 Lions at Ford Field this Sunday.
For San Francisco, the 2015 season can’t come to a close soon enough. The year has been marked by a myriad of controversy, changeover and underachievement covered by a layer of losing — eerily emulating 49ers teams of the late 2000s.
Still, head coach Jim Tomsula’s squad would like to end the season with some positive momentum. The Lions are already trying to do this, having won four of their last six contests.
