The San Francisco 49ers secured the NFC's No. 1 seed on Sunday, guaranteeing a first-round bye in the playoffs and home-field advantage. The team still has one more game to play, a somewhat inconsequential clash with their division rivals, the Los Angeles Rams.
The Rams earned a playoff berth this weekend by defeating the New York Giants and witnessing the Pittsburgh Steelers knock off the Seattle Seahawks.
Able to bypass the first week of playoff games, the 49ers will await the weakest-seeded victor from the Wild Card Round.
Below are the current playoff standings with Week 17 in the books. This is what the NFC postseason picture would look like of the season ended today. The division winners are in bold.
San Francisco 49ers (12-4)*
Dallas Cowboys (11-5)*
Detroit Lions (11-5)*
Tampa Bay Buccaneers (8-8)
Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)*
Los Angeles Rams (9-7)*
Green Bay Packers (8-8)
* Clinched a playoff berth
