While the San Francisco 49ers got a small bump in the NFC standings during their much-needed bye week, moving from the third and final Wild Card slot at No. 7 into the middle Wild Card slot at No. 6, they weren't able to gain any ground in the race for the NFC West, as both the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks improved to 10-3, with each earning a blowout victory.
Nevertheless, at 9-4, the Niners are in solid shape heading into the final four weeks of this 2025 regular season, a stretch that starts this Sunday with a home date against the two-win Tennessee Titans, who snapped a seven-game losing streak this past week with a 31-29 win over the Cleveland Browns.
