The San Francisco 49ers reached double digits in the loss column for the first time since 2010 after falling to the Cincinnati Bengals last week, and now the Niners look to rebound on the road versus an invigorated Detroit Lions team in Week 16.
At 4-10, the 49ers have secured last place in the NFC West and have little else to play for aside from pride and whatever prospects each coach and player may have in 2016.
And there is next year's draft order to consider as well.
The 5-9 Lions are coming off a 35-27 road victory over the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football and, while the short week works against their favor, will look to continue the 49ers' difficulties in winning games away from Levi's Stadium.
