SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) – When 49ers president Jed York declared his team would still make the playoffs despite an 0-5 start, plenty of people questioned his sanity. No NFL team has ever done it, though the 1992 Chargers bounced back after losing their first four games to finish 11-5 and win the division.
Suddenly, the playoffs are still a distinct possibility for San Francisco.
The 49ers (5-8) are just one game out in the awful NFC West behind co-leaders Seattle and St. Louis with only a couple of days to get ready for Thursday night’s game at San Diego.
San Francisco staved off elimination with a commanding 40-21 win over the Seahawks on Sunday – and probably helped coach Mike Singletary’s job status, too.
