The Niners will get to watch everyone else in the NFC move up or down in the standings before their Monday Night Football battle with the Panthers.
After an abysmal 42-26 defeat at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10, the San Francisco 49ers bounced back nicely this past Sunday with Brock Purdy finally back under center, cruising to an easy 41-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.
With the win, combined with the Detroit Lions' loss to the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football, the Niners, who had actually been knocked out of the top seven in the NFC standings for the first time all season after their loss to the Rams, now find themselves holding the final Wild Card slot heading into Week 12.
