Story byMike Masala, Niners WireSun, December 7, 2025 at 2:35 AM UTC·1 min readThe San Francisco 49ers have set themselves up well through the first 13 weeks of the season, putting together a 9-4 record despite injuries to key players on all three phases. With five weeks left in the regular season, the 49ers are in third place in the division and seventh in the conference. And while they're finally getting some much-needed rest during their Week 14 bye, other teams will still be playing, and those games will impact the 49ers.

If the Seahawks and Rams both lost, the 49ers could jump all the way up to the second seed in the conference, but that would be a tall ask. The other three (Saints over Buccaneers, Commanders over Vikings and Chargers over Eagles) just make life a bit easier for San Francisco.
