The San Francisco 49ers may have lost 29-22 to the Atlanta Falcons, but the team still clinched its first playoff berth since the 2013 season thanks to a Los Angeles Rams' 44-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys.
This year's Niners squad drops to 11-3 with two games remaining.
Despite the setback this weekend, the 49ers still look to finish the season strong and possibly secure home-field advantage throughout the playoffs, ensuring that a trip to the Super Bowl goes through Santa Clara. They may require some help from other teams, though.
Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks won their Week 15 matchup against the Carolina Panthers and regain the lead in the NFC West, dropping the 49ers to the No. 5 seed once again.
Next up for San Francisco are two division matchups. First, a home game against the Rams and then a trip to CenturyLink Field to face the Seahawks.
