The 49ers' highly anticipated matchup with the Baltimore Ravens on Christmas Day turned out to be a holiday nightmare for the home team.
The 33-19 loss to the Ravens at Levi's Stadium dropped the 49ers to 11-4 this season, but San Francisco still can clinch home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs with wins in its last two regular-season games -- next week at the Washington Commanders and the following week against the Los Angeles Rams.
The 49ers, Eagles and Lions all have the same record, but San Francisco currently holds the No. 1 seed because of tiebreakers over both Philadelphia and Detroit.
