S.F. Forty-Niners get the NUMBER ONE SEED! Home Field through the playoffs! [View all]
9'ers won
Eagles lost
Awesome !!
San Francisco is officially the cream of the crop in the NFC.
The 49ers clinched their conference's No. 1 seed on Sunday following their 27-10 win over the Commanders and the Eagles' 35-31 upset loss to the Cardinals, assuring themselves a first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout their hopeful journey to Super Bowl LVIII.
Head coach Kyle Shanahan's squad locked up the all-important seed two weeks after sewing up the NFC West and three weeks after becoming the first team in the league to punch a playoff ticket.
The wave of success has been earned on both sides of the ball.
Brock Purdy has proven a perfect fit for Shanahan's system and, buoyed by a stellar supporting cast of Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle, delivered a tremendous second season under center.
Christian McCaffrey has perhaps been even better as the NFL's foremost difference-maker at running back.
And the defense behind Nick Bosa and Fred Warner finds itself as a top-three scoring unit for the second straight year.
