In the days leading into their Week 16 matchup on Monday Night Football with the Indianapolis Colts, the San Francisco 49ers have seen several things go their way.
The NFC West, of course, kicked off the Week 16 slate with a high-stakes matchup between the Los Angeles Rams and the Seattle Seahawks, and the Niners were hoping the latter would win, as that would make life a little easier coming down the stretch of this regular season. And that's precisely how things played out, as the Seahawks squeaked by with a thrilling 38-37 overtime victory.
