It won’t be easy, but you’re going to have to root for the Seahawks on Monday night football. Maybe a better way to look at it is you’ll need to root against the Philadelphia Eagles.
The schedule has played out to perfection for the San Francisco 49ers during the past month. Multiple losses by the Eagles and Lions have put the Niners in a position to clinch the No. 1 seed as soon as Week 16.
Starting tonight, the Eagles must lose at Seattle. That’s not as far-fetched as it may seem considering Jalen Hurts is questionable with an illness and Philly just demoted its defensive coordinator.
