""Huge," Warner said of the 49ers' 42-38 win Sunday night against the Chicago Bears. "Hey, one more." Yep, one more regular-season finale against the Seattle Seahawks to determine the NFC's No. 1 seed and NFC West champion, six years after Warner and the 49ers pulled that off in Seattle."
"No team in NFL history has done what the 49ers can do: win out at home en route to the Lombardi Trophy, though their 1984 team somewhat did that by winning two playoff games before Super Bowl XIX at Stanford. No one is sure this patchwork team can win one more game, and no one should doubt whether an ultimate 10-game win streak is possible if they streak through their final four, including Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium on Feb. 8."
"Mock the 49ers defense's generosity and lack of playmaking (no sacks, no interceptions), but here came another victorious finish. So it goes under defensive coordinator Robert Saleh and his clutch crew. "Do what you need to do when you need to do it," Hall of Fame linebacker Patrick Willis mused as he exited the 49ers locker room."
Fred Warner, injured but elated, celebrated the 49ers' 42-38 victory over the Chicago Bears and urged one more win. The regular-season finale against the Seattle Seahawks will determine the NFC's top seed and the NFC West title. No NFL team has previously won out at home en route to a Super Bowl, though the 1984 49ers won playoff games before Super Bowl XIX at Stanford. The team could string together a 10-game streak through the final four contests and a home Super Bowl. The defense, despite limited splash statistics, continues to make late, decisive stops under coordinator Robert Saleh.
