SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The NFLs schedule makers have done what the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers havent been able to do for more than a month: make sure one of those struggling teams doesnt pick up another loss.The Jets (3-9) take their four-game losing streak to the Bay Area on Sunday when they will face a 49ers team on an even longer skid.San Francisco (1-11) has lost a franchise-record 11 straight games since a season-opening win over the Rams.One of the things we always talk about with sports is it teaches us certain life lessons and it brings out the best in us or exposes the worst in us, Jets receiver Brandon Marshall said.This is a great season for both teams to really mature and grow not only as a team and organization but also as men.In a season of ineptitude for both teams, last week might have marked new lows for both. New York was thoroughly embarrassed on the national stage Monday night in a 41-10 loss to Indianapolis that left coach Todd Bowles repeatedly saying they kicked our asses.Things werent any better for the Niners, who went into the snow in Chicago and lost 26-6 to a Bears team that had won only twice previously all season.Quarterback Colin Kaepernick was pulled in the fourth quarter after completing just one pass all game and taking six sacks and San Franciscos porous defense was carved up by third-string quarterback Matt Barkley.Now both teams are playing out the string with the Jets turning to Bryce Petty as starting quarterback for the final four games and Kaepernick back as starter in San Francisco.I think the game is the easy part, Marshall said. When youre having a season like this, Sundays are easy. Its the work you have to put in leading up to Sunday that makes it harder.This week was especially tough for the Niners. Coach Chip Kelly left the team for a few days this week to be with his family following the death of his father , Paul.Kelly attended the funeral in Maine on Tuesday before returning for practice Wednesday as coordinators Jim ONeill on defense and Curtis Modkins on offense led the team in his absence.Obviously we want to win for ourselves because its been way too long but when something like that happens, you know what it would mean to him and his family, receiver Torrey Smith said.Here are some other things to watch:PETTYS READY: Petty, a fourth-rounder from Baylor last year, will make his second NFL start , but first since Bowles tapped him to be the Jets quarterback for the final four games of the season. Petty went 11 of 25 for 135 yards with a TD and two interceptions Monday in relief of Ryan Fitzpatrick.Things to learn from, Petty said. I did some good things, did some things that I want back. Second time being there in live action. As far as an overall grade, its kind of tough to say. Whether its A, B, or C or anything like that. You just have to continue to grow.KAP REGRESSES: After the most productive four-game stretch of his career as a passer, Kaepernick took a major step backward in Chicago .Kaepernick went just 1 for 5 for 4 yards, while taking five sacks for 25 yards. Kaepernick had played well before that, throwing for 1,110 yards in his previous four games, the most of any four-game stretch of his career. He threw eight touchdowns and two interceptions, good for a passer rating of 96.0, with 223 yards rushing.STILL GOING: Jets running back Matt Forte needs 60 yards from scrimmage to reach 1,100 for the ninth consecutive season.Forte, who turns 31 Saturday, would become the fifth running back in NFL history to begin his career with that many, joining Barry Sanders, Emmitt Smith, Curtis Martin and Ricky Watters. Forte is 12th in the NFL with 784 yards rushing, and has 29 catches for 256 yards this season, his first with the Jets.FLAG DAY: After being the least-penalized team in the league in the first seven games with just 31 infractions, the 49ers have been on the wrong side of the NFL law of late. San Franciscos 46 penalties over the past five weeks are the most in the league and a major concern for Kelly.We have to do a good job as a coaching staff of emphasizing and understand of how much of an impact those penalties and that penalty yardage can have on us, Kelly said.CLOUDY MEMORIES: Marshalls first game at Levis Stadium was memorable for everybody but him. Marshall caught three TD passes for Chicago in a 28-20 win in 2014 in the first regular-season game at the stadium. Marshall said he doesnt remember much from that game because he was on painkillers for a high ankle sprain.I just remember catching those balls, he said.

Penrith could receive a huge boost ahead of Fridays all-important NRL match against the Wests Tigers, with forward Chris Grevsmuhl a chance of returning from an elbow injury.Grevsmuhl missed Sundays win over Newcastle after hurting his elbow against the Sydney Roosters the previous week, but trained on Wednesday afternoon with the team.His possible return would inject more starch to a Panthers side who need to win to consolidate their spot in the top eight with just two more regular-season games to follow.Prop Reagan Campbell-Gillard wasnt so confident of Grevsmuhl making it back in time, having only just returned from a similar injury after missing four games.Im not too sure on that one. This is the first training session back since Sunday. But whatever (coach Anthony Griffin) does, Im pretty sure the boys will do a job, he said.Campbell-Gillard who, before the elbow injury, hadnt missed a NRL game since making his debut last year in round one, admitted he was still unable to straighten his arm.Its fully healed but obviously trying to get it fully straightened by the physio work, doing everything right that I can do. It should be good, he said.ddddddddddddIve got it strapped. I feel a bit comfortable there being supported by some strapping tape. Again, Ive just got to keep doing my rehab and getting physio treatment.For the Tigers, who sit two points behind seventh-placed Penrith in tenth spot, another loss would all but end any hope of squeezing into the finals.Panthers veteran Peter Wallace labelled Friday nights game a must-win.Its a very important game, just on the basis of where we both are on the ladder. Its our biggest game of the season to date, he said.I wouldnt say theyre finals, but the intensitys getting a bit higher each week. You expect it to go up another level this week.Wallace said the team were still smarting from the 34-26 loss in round 17 to the Tigers.We were disappointed in our effort that night. Just the execution in attack was really off and, defensively, we were off too, he said.Obviously, its do-or-die for them and were in a bit of the same boat too. Were going to have to be at our best on Friday. ' ' '
