The San Francisco 49ers made history on Sunday, but not exactly in a good way. San Francisco would fall to the Atlanta Falcons after quarterback Matt Ryan connected with Julio Jones on a five-yard touchdown pass to give the Falcons a 23-22 lead with just two seconds remaining.

With the loss, the 49ers became the first 10-plus win team to lose three or more games in the final 10 seconds since the 2000 Philadelphia Eagles.

That Eagles team would end the season 11-5 and lost in the divisional round to the New York Giants.

Other than the Falcons in Week 15, the 49ers would fall to the Seattle Seahawks in overtime in Week 10 and to the Baltimore Ravens three weeks later. In B-More, a Justin Tucker field goal with three seconds left clinched the game.
