Isn’t it nice to be scoreboard watching this time of year, Niners Faithful? We’re watching other games to see if the San Francisco 49ers will have the coveted “X” beside their name in the standings, which signifies a playoff berth.
However, rather than scoreboard watching and hoping other teams do the job for them, the Niners had an opportunity to clinch a postseason spot themselves, Sunday afternoon against the visiting Atlanta Falcons. Unfortunately, the 49ers couldn’t do it themselves, but thanks to a Dallas Cowboys victory over the Los Angles Rams, the Niners are playoff bound.
