The San Francisco 49ers have officially secured a spot in the 2023 NFL playoffs, becoming the first team this season to clinch a playoff berth. With four weeks remaining in the regular season, the 49ers’ playoff dream became a reality thanks to the New York Giants’ victory over the Green Bay Packers on “Monday Night Football.”
The Giants’ 24-22 win over the Packers at MetLife Stadium allowed the 49ers to punch their playoff ticket without having to wait until Week 15. San Francisco’s own 28-16 victory over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday contributed to their 10-3 record and solidified their position as the No. 1 seed in the NFC after the Dallas Cowboys defeated the Philadelphia Eagles.
Heading into Week 14, the 49ers had the opportunity to secure a playoff spot with a win against Seattle and some help from other teams. The Minnesota Vikings’ victory over the Las Vegas Raiders set the stage for the Giants to become San Francisco’s last hope in clinching a playoff spot, and they delivered.
The 49ers have announced that tickets for a potential home playoff game will go on sale to the general public on December 12th at 1 PM PT. Fans can also stay updated on the team’s journey to the playoffs and beyond by downloading and following the 49ers Talk Podcast.
