NFC playoff picture: 49ers remain No. 1 seed despite loss

As Week 17 begins, let’s have a look at the NFC playoff picture.

The Arizona Cardinals were eliminated from postseason contention but three teams in the NFC West are currently in the NFC playoff picture.

The San Francisco 49ers remain atop the conference as the No. 1 seed who would, if the season ended today, have home-field advantage throughout the playoffs and a first-round bye.

The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams, both 8-7, would make the playoffs as wild card teams.

Let’s take a look at the NFC playoff picture, who is in the hunt and the games in Week 17 that will matter for postseason contention.
