Week 16 wasn't good for the San Francisco 49ers. They were officially eliminated from the playoffs before their game against the Miami Dolphins even kicked off, and then they faceplanted against the Dolphins in an ugly 29-17 defeat.

The Dallas Cowboys and San Francisco 49ers were knocked out of playoff contention before either of them took the field Sunday. Both franchises needed a lot of help and a perfect finish in order to make the playoffs after their disappointing starts to the season. Any hope of that happening is now officially gone.

ESPN's Football Power Index rates the 49ers' playoff chances at less than 1% entering Week 16, making it extremely unlikely that San Francisco is still alive past Week 18.
