Still lead NFC

The 49ers also remained the No. 1 seed in the NFC after Monday night. The Packers’ Week 9 stumble vs. the Chargers, and the Saints’ Week 10 fiasco vs. the Falcons put them both at two losses. San Francisco is above both of them, although both clubs are nipping at their heels, along with Seattle who would switch places with the 49ers if they lose to Arizona. For now, the playoffs go through Levi’s Stadium.
