The 49ers have a chance to win the NFC West title and the No. 1 seed. Here's how San Francisco can win the division in Week 18 of the 2025 NFL season.

The San Francisco 49ers benefited from a weak slate of 2025 opponents, and falling behind the Seahawks and Rams means they'll face nine teams that finished below .500 this season.

A No. 2 seed remains on the table for the Eagles entering play on Sunday, but a wild-card round meeting with the injury-depleted 49ers now looks like the most likely possibility.

For the first time in a decade, the Carolina Panthers have won the NFC South. For the first time in eight years, they're headed to the postseason. After a heart

Rams head coach Sean McVay said all week that his plan is to play the team's starters against the Cardinals and that the result of Saturday's Seahawks-49ers game was not going to factor into how he handled things on Sunday.

The Eagles might always wonder what would have happened if they had played for the No. 2 seed on Sunday. Or the bracket might break in a way that makes it all irrelevant.

For the Los Angeles Rams, their fate was sealed in Weeks 16 and 17 when they went 0-2 and both the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers went 2-0. They went from holding the No. 1 seed to dropping all the way to third place in their own division and getting locked into a wild-card spot.

The Seattle Seahawks delivered a gift to the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday night with their 13-3 win over the San Francisco 49ers on the road. Had the 49ers won that game, the Rams would’ve been locked in as the No. 6 seed in the NFC no matter what happened in their game against the Arizona Cardinals.
