The San Francisco 49ers not only etched a loss on the record, they also missed a huge opportunity Sunday. There were losses in the division to the Seattle Seahawks, which could have put them up two games. There was also a loss in the NFC to the Philadelphia Eagles which would have put the 49ers at No. 1 for seeding purposes should they have been able to hang on through the season.
Yes, it’s a long season and yes, things always happen, but games like Cleveland need to be won in October so the 49ers can play at home in January.
