As a result of their 56–19 win of the second-seeded Dolphins of Miami on Sunday, Lamar Jackson and the Ravens will play their playoff games at home.
Jackson is among the running for MVP. The 49ers, upon the contrary hand, let the Washington Commanders stay close to feed a while beforehand pulling away to win 27–10.
Everyone was shocked when the Philadelphia Eagles lost to the Arizona Cardinals a few days later.
This made sure the Oakland 49ers would finish as the best team of the NFC to Week 17. The NFL season is almost over, but the playoff games continue to be as crazy as well as difficult to comprehend as ever.

The most interesting game is the one for the AFC East crown between the Dolphins and the Bills. There are six teams competing in the NFC with hopes of getting those final two spots.
Here are the ways that scores are broken for each team. The most recent numbers and who each rival is up against is displayed below.
The 49ers are 9-3, in are the Lions, Cowboys, and 49ers this season. The 49ers, on the other together, have won their only games towards the Cowboys as well as the Eagles, and these could be the difference in the NFC East.

The Texans also have a better record towards the Steelers when you look at their head-to-head results. For them, a win will keep their season going.
San Francisco only needs to win a final few games to get the first overall seed. But Week 16 is rough because the 49ers have to go to Baltimore to play the playoff-bound Ravens on Christmas Day.
By the close of the season, the 49ers ought to be sporting either a 14-3 or 13-4 record. But they had to have some other results going their way to get the top spot total.
The Ravens secured the top spot within the AFC with their win over the visiting Dolphins in Week 17. They don’t need to play within the first round.
