The 49ers are looking to bounce back from a loss to the Ravens on Christmas Day with a matchup against the Commanders in Week 17.

Despite the Week 16 setback, the 49ers (11-4) still hold the top seed in the NFC by virtue of a tiebreaker over the Eagles and Lions. San Francisco can clinch the No. 1 seed and a first-round bye with a win and Philadelphia and Detroit losses.
