The NFL playoffs are down to eight teams. That the San Francisco 49ers are one of them might come as a surprise, given the myriad injuries they’ve dealt with this season, but San Francisco has a good shot of making its second Super Bowl appearance in three seasons if it can outlast the top-seeded Seattle […]
