NFC Playoff Picture: The 49ers sit in 3rd place; own NFC West tiebreaker

The NFC standings are fluid and will continue to be throughout the remainder of the regular season. Two of the top dogs, the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions, were idle in Week 9. Still, each team benefitted on Sunday.

The Seattle Seahawks proved to be a figment of our imagination if you believed they were a contender. They were steamrolled by the Baltimore Ravens.

The Philadelphia Eagles tried everything in their power to lose to the Dallas Cowboys, but Mike McCarthy and Dak Prescott did what they usually do when the game is on the line.
