[Schefter] 49ers now are one win away from becoming the NFC’s No. 1 seed.

49ers just beat the Bears without Kittle, Williams, Aiyuk, Bosa, or Warner. Shanahan for coach of the year.

The Niners having lost Nick Bosa and Fred Warner early on, having played big chunks of the season without Brock Purdy and George Kittle, having no Brandon Aiyuk all year, and after an offseason cap purge ... are now 12-4.


If the 49ers win next week and get the No. 1 seed then Kyle Shanahan is the Coach of the Year, what an unbelievable job he’s done this season.


Real organizational strength on display.

The New York Jets are one week away from NFL history. Every other team in NFL history has registered at least one interception in a season - they have zero (this year, every other team has at least six). Opposing QBs have 32 TDs and no picks, playing at an MVP level

[Kelly] ‘The Steelers wr core is the worst thing I’ve ever seen. With how many WRs that enter the draft each year, and how much talent there is in this day and age, it is roster malpractice to go into a game with MVS, Scotty Miller and Adam Theilen as your WR corp’

The 3-13 New York Giants have more wins (2) against teams over .500 than the 13-3 New England Patriots (1)

Patriots played lot of teams with winning percentage of .500 or less this year.

New England beat Bills in week 5 for their only win vs over .500 team this season.

NY giants beat Eagles and Chargers this year.

By not playing Sunday, Justin Herbert finishes 65 yards short of Peyton Mannings NFL record for most passing yards through a QB’s first 6 seasons.

Peyton Manning: 24,885 yards over 96 games

Justin Herbert: 24,820 yards over 95 games

If the Rams win out (likely), and the 49ers can beat Seattle in Week 18, there will be a 13-4 team that finishes THIRD in a division and related to the No. 6 seed in the playoffs. Unreal.

The Carolina Panthers now clinch the NFC South noscript with a win on Saturday OR a Falcons win on Sunday

If either of these things happen the Bucs are out

With the Rams loss on MNF, the Seattle Seahawks are locked into either the 1-Seed or the 5-Seed

The 13-3 Seahawks cannot finish below the Los Angeles Rams or Green Bay Packers in the playoff standings.

If they beat the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday Night, they will move into the 1-Seed.

If they lose to San Francisco, they will fall to the 5-Seed and head out, either to Charlotte or Tampa, for the Wild Card Round
