"We've got four games left," offensive tackle Trent Williams told reporters after the game. "It's the last quarter of the year. We understand that the focus has to be heightened, that we don't really have a lot of wiggle room. We kind of control our own destiny, but we still need some guys to fall short. We only can control what we can control. Our next focus is on Washington, and we've got to get a win."
Here is the playoff picture in the NFC after 13 weeks of NFL play. The 49ers squandered an opportunity to be in a three-way tie for the final wild-card spot and must now rely on some other teams falling apart down the stretch.
