Overview
- San Francisco sits at 9-4 with roughly a 91% playoff chance and entered the weekend as the NFC’s No. 7 seed.
- If either Seattle or Los Angeles loses in Week 14, the 49ers would move up to the No. 5 spot, with a best-case jump to No. 2 if both teams lose.
- General manager John Lynch framed the late bye as a health and reset advantage, calling the NFC race wide open.
- The injury picture includes a season-ending foot injury for guard Ben Bartch and a post-bye re-evaluation for fullback Kyle Juszczyk.
- Kicker Eddy Piñeiro and multiple front-seven contributors are expected back after the break, and fan rooting guides highlight pulls for Falcons over Seahawks, Cardinals over Rams, and any outcome in Bears–Packers.
