INDIANAPOLIS -- The San Francisco 49ers' long wait to Monday night's game against the Indianapolis Colts was made much easier when the Pittsburgh Steelers knocked off the Detroit Lions on Sunday night to wrap up the Niners' spot in the NFC playoffs.
Lest the Niners appear content with simply punching their ticket to the dance, they trampled the Colts on with much bigger goals in mind. At 11-4 and paired with the Seattle Seahawks' win against the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night, the 49ers now have a direct line to the NFC's top seed.
