BREAKING: San Francisco 49ers Receive Unbelievable Playoff News Due to a Shocking Loss
The San Francisco 49ers have had a great 2023 NFL season so far. Today, they defeated the Washington Commanders to improve their record to 12-4. If that was not enough, they received some help today to solidify their playoff position.
San Francisco 49ers Clinch #1 Seed in the NFC
Believe it or not, the San Francisco 49ers clinched the top seed in the NFC one week early. How did they do this? The 49ers can thank the Philadelphia Eagles.
In shocking fashion, the Eagles lost 35-31 at home to the Arizona Cardinals. That means their record falls to 11-5 and they no longer have a chance at leaping the 49ers. San Francisco already received more help last night.
That is because the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Detroit Lions in controversial fashion. That meant the Lions’ record fell to 11-5.
In case you are wondering, the 49ers do have the tiebreaker. They have a better conference record than the Eagles, Lions, and Cowboys. As a result, their one-game lead with one game left in the regular season is good enough to clinch the top seed in the NFC.
