San Francisco is postseason bound after the NFC heavyweight locked up the 2023 season’s first playoff spot.<\/p>\n
The 49ers’ 28-16 win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon, coupled with the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the New York Giants on Monday night, clinched a playoff berth for head coach Kyle Shanahan’s squad.<\/p>\n
Entering Week 14, the 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys each had playoff clinching scenarios, but it’s San Francisco (10-3) that’s first to punch its postseason ticket.<\/p>\n
The 2023 campaign now marks the third straight season in which the 49ers have made the playoffs, the club’s longest postseason streak since 2011-2013 under Jim Harbaugh.<\/p>\n
Shanahan and the 49ers’ regular-season agenda is hardly complete though, as they’ll aim to lock up a second straight NFC West title and the NFC\u2019s No. 1 seed.<\/p>\n
In his seven seasons with the 49ers, Shanahan has piloted his teams to four playoff berths.<\/p>\n
This season, though, they’ve looked as strong as ever, hauling plenty of high expectations and hype along with them as they march forward.<\/p>\n
The 49ers are officially headed for the postseason, and arguably the hottest team in the NFL after a fifth consecutive win Sunday and more reason to celebrate on Monday.<\/p>\n
