NFL power rankings: Where 49ers sit after thrashing of Bears originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area

SANTA CLARA — Some of these teams still think they have a chance. That’s cute.

As the fight for playoff seeding heats up, so does the not-so-elegant race to the bottom.

With four weeks remaining in the 2024 regular season, there isn’t much any of these teams can do to surprise us.

Here is where the 49ers sit after a 38-13 win over the Chicago Bears and heading into “Monday Night Football:”

32. New York Giants (Last week: 32)

Record: 2-11

Not worth my time. Not worth your time. Next.

31. Las Vegas Raiders (Last week: 30)

Record: 2-11

There’s a Raiders fan somewhere starting their own version of the Browns quarterback list jersey. It’s getting quite long after these last two seasons. Stay the course, lose games, and select a new one in the spring.

30. Jacksonville Jaguars (Last week: 31)

Record: 3-10

This was not a game you wanted to win against another bottom-feeder. Mac Jones did everything in his power to lose, but the Jacksonville defense chose the wrong time to show up.

29. Tennessee Titans (Last week: 28)

Record: 3-10

Going up against a defense as terrible as Jacksonville’s and scoring just six points takes skill. A truly impressive, but gross, dedication to the tank.

28. New England Patriots (Last week: 29)

Record: 3-10 (Bye week)

If there are two words that describe the 2024 Patriots, it’s “ethical tanking.” When you give it your best, but it’s just not enough. Respectable.

27. Cleveland Browns (Last week: 26)

Record: 3-10

When Jameis Winston said he was “praying for the Lord to deliver me from pick-sixes,” he wasn’t talking about interceptions in general. Those he will never be able to escape.

26. New York Jets (Last week: 25)

Record: 3-10

The last time the Jets made the playoffs (2010), Aaron Rodgers won his one and only Super Bowl the following year. Now fast forward 13 years, and misery still loves company.

25. Carolina Panthers (Last week: 27)

Record: 3-10

Another impressive…
