BREAKING: 49ers clinch No. 1 seed in NFC

49ers NFC Cardinals Eagles Christian McCaffrey Rams San Francisco (Organization)

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.
