Charlotte: 2026 Week 11 recap

Charlotte sits at 1–7 with a rating of −25.4, unchanged from last week after falling to Tulane 38–31 at home in Week 9. The 49ers have won just once all season and face a steep climb: GIE projects 2.1 expected wins for the year, with zero chance of a playoff berth or conference title. Their red-zone efficiency tells part of the story—a 15% touchdown rate in the scoring area reflects wasted opportunities when games are decided by possessions. Third-down conversion at 33% and fourth-down aggression at 31% suggest an offense struggling to sustain drives. Next up is a road trip to UAB on November 7th, another American Athletic matchup in what's become a salvage mission.
