After falling seven spots in last week’s power rankings, the San Francisco 49ers took another stumble in the NFL’s power rankings. This time, the Niners fell for different reasons.
Previous rank: No. 9
An all-time Pyrrhic victory for the 49ers. Nick Bosa. Solomon Thomas. Jimmy Garoppolo. Raheem Mostert. Key players essential to the team’s chances of a Super Bowl return, all knocked out of Sunday’s victory over the Jets before halftime. Crushingly, Bosa and Thomas were both diagnosed with torn ACLs.
