After the Dallas Cowboys eliminated the San Francisco 49ers from postseason contention last week, the team had nothing in the standings to play for. With all the incentive in the world to mail it in for the final two games of the season, head coach Kyle Shanahan did everything in his power to stay competitive.
On Saturday, already depleted by injuries and a chance at the playoffs, the Niners showed why they were NFC favorites coming into the season. The Arizona Cardinals entered the contest in position for a playoff spot, however, after falling on their home field in a 20-12 loss, it’s now out of their hands.
