Cleveland Browns All-Pro edge rusher Myles Garrett is on the doorstep of NFL history. His 21.5 sacks lead the league by a staggering 8.5, and he sits just one sack shy of tying the single-season record shared by Michael Strahan (2001) and T.J. Watt (2021).

The 49ers (10-4) have a better shot at the NFC’s No. 1 seed and a potential Super Bowl home game thanks to the Seattle Seahawks (12-3) overtaking the Los Angeles Rams (11-4) in overtime.

6. San Francisco 49ers (10-4), wild card No. 2: A win Monday locks them into the field and a tie for second place in the NFC West. Win out, which would entail completing a season sweep of Seattle on the final weekend of the regular season, and the Niners would get the No. 1 seed. Remaining schedule: at Colts, vs. Bears, vs. Seahawks

San Francisco could suddenly be a dark-horse team to win the NFC West and get the conference's No. 1 overall seed.

Despite an "admirable" showing by Philip Rivers in Week 15, Mike Florio and Chris Simms believe the 49ers offense will continue to roll against the Colts on Monday Night Football.

It wasn't just the Seahawks celebrating Thursday's night win. The 49ers now have a path to the NFC West title, too.

The San Francisco 49ers defense has been surviving despite injuries, and a lot of that credit has been given to Robert Saleh. Saleh was always expected to use the 49ers as a pit stop to regain his strong reputation as a head coaching candidate and parlay this into a new job.

The San Francisco 49ers control their own destiny, but here is their nightmare playoff scenario with 3 weeks left in the regular season.
