Well, that was...surprising.
If you’ve followed the program here, you’d know this recap has said over and over again that the only way the San Francisco 49ers were going to get a shot at that coveted No. 1 seed in the NFC was going to be winning out. Well, the 49ers are doing their part, but that “winning out” part might not be necessary.
For starters, the 49ers locked up the NFC West with their 45-29 score over the Arizona Cardinals. That gets them one home playoff game at least. We’ll get to that in a moment, because that’s only the start of what was a wonderful weekend of football if you’re a 49ers fan.
