"The 49ers clinched a playoff berth Sunday courtesy of the Pittsburgh Steelers. When the Steelers held on to beat the Detroit Lions 29-24 Sunday, it punched the 49ers' ticket for the postseason with three games remaining. The 49ers (10-4) visit the Indianapolis Colts (8-6) Monday night, then finish the season with games against Chicago (11-4) and Seattle (12-3) at Levi's Stadium."
"The Seahawks lead the NFC West and own the top seed virtue of their 38-37 win over the Los Angeles Rams Thursday night. Wins in all three games would give the 49ers the top seed, assuring them a first-round bye and home field throughout the playoffs. And since Super Bowl LX will be played at Levi's Stadium, that means the 49ers could make an unlikely run at a championship without ever leaving the comforts of home."
The Steelers' 29-24 victory over the Lions secured a playoff berth for the 49ers with three regular-season games remaining. The 49ers stand 10-4 and next face the Indianapolis Colts, then Chicago and Seattle at Levi's Stadium. The Seahawks currently lead the NFC West and hold the top seed after a 38-37 win over the Rams. Winning all three remaining games would give the 49ers the top seed, a first-round bye, and home-field advantage throughout the playoffs. Super Bowl LX is scheduled for Levi's Stadium, creating a possibility of a championship run entirely at home. The season included significant injuries and absences to key defensive and offensive players, yet the team reached the postseason.
