The 49ers' 38-10 loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field last weekend and their 35-10 loss to the Bills at Highmark Stadium on Sunday marked the worst two-game stretch by a defending conference champion since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger. Backup quarterback Brandon Allen started the 49ers' loss to the Packers as Brock Purdy dealt with a shoulder injury, but the offense couldn't get anything done with Purdy back on the field in Sunday's loss to the Bills.
The latest defeat dropped San Francisco to 5-7 on the season, making a return to the NFL playoffs very unlikely for the team. Per the Sunday Night Football broadcast, the loss in Buffalo was just the fourth time in 49ers history that the team fell by 25 or more points in consecutive games.
The #49ers have lost their past two games by 53 points, matching their largest two-game total since they were blasted by the Cowboys (40-10) and Eagles (33-10) in consecutive weeks in 2017 to drop to 0-8 in Kyle Shanahan's first season.
