The nightmare 49ers season continues.
San Francisco once again got outclassed by an NFC foe, losing 38-10 to the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, and falling to 5-6.
The 49ers now are 3-5 in the NFC during the 2024 NFL season, and sit on the outside of the playoff picture with a difficult road to a postseason berth in front of them.
With the loss, San Francisco’s playoff probability fell to 17 percent. The 49ers currently sit in the NFC’s No. 10 seed, and are one game back of the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West, although San Francisco’s 1-3 record in division games creates an even larger gap when tiebreakers are factored in.
The only NFC teams yet to play in Week 12 are the Los Angeles Rams and Philadelphia Eagles, who will square off on “Sunday Night Football.”
Here is where the NFC playoff picture stands following Week 12’s afternoon slate of games.
