The San Francisco 49ers couldn't have asked for a better Week 16 outcome: the Seattle Seahawks beating the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday night before the Niners took care of their own affairs by upending the Indianapolis Colts on Monday Night Football.
That gives San Francisco an increased shot at not only the NFC West title, especially with a regular-season finale looming against the Hawks, but also the No. 1 overall seed in the conference for the playoffs.
Considering February's Super Bowl is to be held at Levi's Stadium, there's a chance the 49ers won't have to take to the road again if they're able to make it to that point.
