More bad news to come in from the San Francisco 49ers loss to the Seattle Seahawks Sunday afternoon, the 49ers are officially eliminated from playoff contention with the loss. It was a good run, folks. But a 2-9 team just wasn’t going to limp into the playoffs this year.
The Seahawks meanwhile have a shot at the wild card now that the Los Angeles Rams have locked down the NFC West (more on that later).
But there is good news. The 49ers may be eliminated from playoff contention today...but they weren’t the FIRST team to be eliminated from playoff contention today:
The Raiders were first to go after losing to their own division rival, the Kansas City Chiefs to the tune of 40-33.
