The San Francisco 49ers now sit at 0-5 after losing 26-23 in overtime to the Indianapolis Colts. Niner Noise looks at the good, bad and ugly from this road contest.

Week 5 provided, perhaps, the best opportunity for the San Francisco 49ers to pick up a win the first half of 2017.

And it didn’t happen, as the Niners fell to the Indianapolis Colts 26-23 in yet another overtime game for head coach Kyle Shanahan and Co.

The same sort of problems that plagued the 49ers through four weeks continued into this particular contest — penalties, overthrows, third-down efficiency and much more. And for a Niners team lacking sufficient talent on both sides of the ball, it makes sense why the team remains winless over five weeks.

As we do each week, let’s take a look at the good, bad and ugly from this particular contest.

While it’s not all bad, 0-5 teams certainly don’t have the luxury of getting plenty of good accolades on a week-to-week basis.

But let’s get the good out of the way.
