While it stunk, the San Francisco 49ers‘ Week 15 loss to the visiting Atlanta Falcons wasn’t too bad a setback in the grand scheme of things. Despite dropping from the No. 1 seed to No. 5 in the NFC playoff picture, the Niners can still win out their remaining schedule and will likely reclaim both the top seed and the NFC West divisional crown.
Winning out is going to have to include beating the visiting Los Angeles Rams this Saturday, however.
At 8-6, the Rams’ playoff hopes are hanging by a thread.
