GREEN BAY, Wis. — Brandon Allen didn't get nearly enough help from his more recognizable San Francisco 49ers teammates as the 32-year-old journeyman quarterback made his first start in nearly three years. Now, the defending NFC champions find themselves at 5-6 and last in the NFC West. Allen did a decent job Sunday filling in for the injured Brock Purdy before losing a fumble on a strip-sack by Lukas Van Ness in the fourth quarter of the 49ers' 38-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers. But on a day when San Francisco's regulars had to be sharp in Purdy's absence, the 49ers were sloppy.
