The San Francisco 49ers received zero help from either the Atlanta Falcons or the Minnesota Vikings in Week 13. And following the Niners’ 20-17 road loss to the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday, head coach Kyle Shanahan’s squad now finds itself the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoff picture after sitting atop the conference all season up until this point.
The New Orleans Saints, who now own the No. 1 seed in the NFC, beat the Atlanta Falcons on Thursday Night Football, while the Seattle Seahawks outlasted the Vikings on Monday Night Football.
