The 49ers took care of business and got all the help they needed in Week 17 to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC.
San Francisco got its win over the Commanders, 27-10. They also got help from the Cowboys, who knocked off the Lions 20-19 on Saturday night.
Then Sunday shortly after the 49ers beat Washington, the Cardinals upset the Eagles 34-31 in Philadelphia.
San Francisco can now rest players vs. the Rams if they choose, and they’ll get a first-round bye with homefield advantage throughout the playoffs.
