| Atlanta, GA (MySportsbook) - Matt Bryant scored the last nine points in the game, including a 43-yard field goal just before the final buzzer to give the Atlanta Falcons a 16-14 victory over the winless San Francisco 49ers in a defensive-minded Week 4 battle. The 49ers were leading 14-13 when Nate Clements intercepted Matt Ryan with less than 90 seconds left in regulation. As Clements returned the pick down the left sideline, however, Falcons wide receiver Roddy White came from behind and stripped the football. |

| San Francisco, CA (MySportsbook) - San Francisco 49ers starting strong safety Michael Lewis has reportedly requested his release from the team. The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Lewis has left the 0-3 49ers out of frustration. On Friday, the Colorado product missed practice for apparent personal reasons. Multiple reports surfaced soon after that Lewis had left the team after he was informed that the organization had plans of phasing rookie Taylor Mays into Lewis' role.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Starting San Francisco 49ers strong safety Michael Lewis did not attend Friday's walkthrough practice before the team traveled to Atlanta to play the Falcons on Sunday. Coach Mike Singletary would only say that Lewis was absent for personal reasons. The coach wouldn't elaborate when asked by reporters. Singletary wasn't sure whether Lewis would rejoin the team for the game. Lewis has been relegated to a diminished role so far this season for the winless 49ers (0-3). Rookie Taylor |

| (MySportsbook) - One week after taking control of the NFC South with a monumental win at the New Orleans Saints, the Atlanta Falcons will be a team trying to avoid an ill-timed letdown. The struggling San Francisco 49ers, who have undergone a serious coaching alteration in the week preceding Sunday's tilt at the Georgia Dome, will be the opponent attempting to catch the Falcons off-guard. The Falcons were 27-24 overtime winners against the Saints last week, with New Orleans kicker Garrett Hartley's miss of a 29 |

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. (AP) - The last place most people expected to find the San Francisco 49ers through three weeks of the season was last place. That's where the preseason favorites in the NFC West reside, behind even the Rams. Keeping company with such NFL dregs as the Browns, Bills, Lions and Panthers seems so unbecoming for a franchise supposedly on the rise. Maybe the Niners will turn it around and surge to the top of a division where the champion just might finish with eight victories. Or maybe they |

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) - Mike Singletary is not wavering in the slightest from his offensive philosophy for the San Francisco 49ers. He wants a physical, balanced attack. Singletary still expects his 0-3 Niners to bounce back and win the NFC West as everybody thought they would. Two days after he fired offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye, Singletary's players expressed their enthusiasm for a fresh start heading into Sunday's game at Atlanta (2-1). The Falcons have won the last three meetings between the teams. |

| m post a 10-38 combined record in the previous three seasons, the beleaguered fan base of the Kansas City Chiefs might have been pleased if you had told them that their team would flirt with 8-8 in 2010. With Sunday's 31-10 romp over a dysfunctional San Francisco 49ers team, though, Chiefs supporters have visions - albeit distant ones - of playoff berths dancing in their heads. Kansas City hits the bye as one of just three NFL unbeatens (Steelers, Bears), and thanks to the slow starts of the Broncos, Chargers and |

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) - The unbeaten Kansas City Chiefs seem eager to remain that way. Just minutes after Sunday's 31-10 rout of the favored San Francisco 49ers, many Chiefs players were talking about using their bye week for something besides fishing trips and vacations. Instead, they were looking ahead to getting ready for their next game at Indianapolis on Oct. 10. The Chiefs went to 3-0 for the first time since 2003 by playing their best game in many years.

| Santa Clara, CA (MySportsbook) - The San Francisco 49ers have fired offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye following an 0-3 start, making the move less than 24 hours after an ugly 31-10 loss to Kansas City. Quarterbacks coach Mike Johnson will replace Raye. Both were hired in February of 2009, and big things were expected from San Francisco in 2010 after a promising 8-8 season a year ago. The 49ers had just 11 first downs and were held to 251 yards of offense in Sunday's latest setback. They were also 4-for-17 on thi |
