How 49ers’ Week 14 win over Bears affects NFC playoff picture originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
Welcome to the wild, wild West. The 49ers kept their very limited playoff hopes alive…for now.
With a 38-13 win over the Chicago Bears Sunday at Levi’s Stadium, San Francisco ended its three-game skid and improved to 6-7 with four regular-season games remaining.
San Francisco’s playoff odds went from nine to eight percent. Once again: the wild, wild West.
The NFC West’s top seed Seattle Seahawks (8-5) defeated the Arizona Cardinals (6-7), and the Los Angeles Rams (7-6) took care of business in a nail-biter against the Buffalo Bills (10 -3).
San Francisco remains in last place in the division.
The Detroit Lions and Philadelphia Eagles have clinched a playoff spot, while the New York Giants have officially been eliminated from postseason contention.
