San Francisco, Buffalo lead this week’s NFL Bottom 10

Share

Several teams employ a 3-4 defense. Buffalo and San Francisco, by contrast, seem to use 0-0 defenses.

The outmanned Bills and 49ers have given up the most points in the NFL this season — 87 in three games. Not surprisingly, both teams are winless.

The 49ers make up for their lousy defense with a terrible offense, having scored just 38 points, second worst in the NFL. The only more feeble touchdown machine is Carolina (10.7 points per game), which has resorted to starting child quarterback Jimmy Clausen.

A special Bottom Ten “Oops” award goes to New Orleans’ enthusiastic public address announcer Jerry Romig, who shouted, “It’s good!” after the Saints’ Garrett Hartley attempted a 29-yard field goal in overtime. The kick was wide.
