The San Francisco 49ers earned a win over the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday, proving that the Rams truly do suck, even when Jeff Fisher has been fired. Speaking of, I haven’t talked about that yet but I do think it’s hilarious and a long time coming and I find nothing more entertaining than reading his post-firing “I have no excuses, but here’s a list of all my excuses!” tour.
Anyway, the Cleveland Browns actually managed to win a game on Saturday, which briefly put the 49ers in line for the first overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. Unfortunately, the 49ers had to go and beat the Rams, so they’re still not looking at the top spot. If the Browns happen to beat the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17, though, the 49ers could still be in business.
I don’t see that happening though, unless the Steelers beat the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday and then don’t need to fight for seeding in Week 17. Let’s just jump right into your links for the day, shall we?
