LANDOVER, Md. -- The NFC's road to the Super Bowl will go through Santa Clara and the San Francisco 49ers.

The Niners took care of business Sunday with a 27-10 win against the Washington Commanders and got some help from the Arizona Cardinals and Dallas Cowboys, who beat the Philadelphia Eagles and Detroit Lions, respectively, to nail down the NFC's top seed.

San Francisco will host any NFC playoff games it plays at Levi's Stadium and, more important, will get a bye for wild-card weekend.
