The score went back and forth all night. The defense got a stop when it needed to, while the offense found the end zone when it couldn\u2019t afford to settle for a field goal. Now, after a win, the 49ers remain in control of their own destiny for homefield advantage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s simple: If San Francisco beats Seattle in Week 18 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ninersnation.com\/san-francisco-49ers-schedule\/154478\/the-49ers-will-play-the-seahawks-on-saturday-for-the-no-1-seed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on Saturday<\/a>, they are the No. 1 seed. One game closer to the NFC Championship, where some reporters believe Fred Warner has a chance to return.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A 49ers loss, and they\u2019ll likely face the Eagles in Philadelphia. If the Lions beat the Bears and the Eagles beat Washington with a Niners loss, San Francisco would be headed to the Windy City to face the Bears.<\/p>\n<p>Updated NFC West standings<\/p>\n<p>Updated NFC playoff picture<\/p>\n<p>NFC teams eliminated from playoff contention<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Atlanta Falcons<br \/>Arizona Cardinals<br \/>Dallas Cowboys<br \/>Detroit Lions<br \/>Minnesota Vikings<br \/>New Orleans Saints<br \/>New York Giants<br \/>Washington Commanders<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The San Francisco 49ers played one of the more entertaining games of the season against the Chicago Bears.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":477837,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[1232,206480,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-477836","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-san-francisco-49ers-playoffs","10":"tag-sports","11":"tag-united-states","12":"tag-unitedstates","13":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477836","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=477836"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/477836\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/477837"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=477836"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=477836"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=477836"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
