- San Francisco lost All-Pro tight end George Kittle to a torn Achilles, and now faces Seattle’s No. 1 scoring defense after the Seahawks held the 49ers to three points in Week 18.
- Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold is questionable with an oblique injury, and Texans receiver Nico Collins remains in concussion protocol ahead of Sunday’s game in Foxborough.
- Proprietary AI projections cited by Milenio list Denver as a slight favorite over Buffalo and Seattle with a stronger edge over San Francisco, reflecting home field and rest factors.
