Purdy: Brock Purdy continues to be remarkable as Jimmy Garoppolo's replacement. The rookie seventh-rounder completed 22-of-35 passes for 284 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 1 interception in yesterday’s win. - Christian McCaffrey (172 scrimmage yards and 1 touchdown on 25 touches) and Brandon Aiyuk (9 catches for 101 yards and 1 touchdown) were key offensive contributors. COY? It will be interesting to see if Kyle Shanahan takes over as the favorite for Coach of the Year, as he has found ways to win following season-ending injuries to Trey Lance and Garoppolo. Whereas Nick Sirianni and the Eagles have struggled (0-2) in the wake of Jalen Hurts’ shoulder injury. Next Week: The 49ers can clinch the NFC’s No. 1 seed with a win over the Cardinals and an Eagles’ loss to the Giants. If the Eagles win, the 49ers can clinch the No. 2 seed with a win or a Vikings’ loss to the Bears.

Still Got It: Tom Brady had a fantastic game, completing 34-of-45 passes for 432 yards, 3 touchdowns, and no interceptions. Evans: Much of Brady’s production came on passes to Mike Evans, who reeled in 10-of-12 targets for 207 yards and all 3 touchdowns. - Evans has now reached at least 1,000 receiving yards in each of his nine seasons. - No other player has more than six straight 1,000-receiving-yard seasons. No. 4 Seed: The Bucs are locked into the NFC’s No. 4 seed and will host either the Cowboys or the Eagles in the wild-card round. Image: Cliff Welch/Icon Sportswire Giants [Daniel Jones] Giants clinch a wild-card berth with win over the Colts Details: The Giants (9-6-1) clinched their first postseason berth since 2016 with a dominant 38-10 victory over Indianapolis. Jones: Daniel Jones — who entered the season maligned by the fanbase — received a standing ovation from the home crowd. - Jones completed 19-of-24 passes for 177 yards, 2 touchdowns, and no interceptions. - And rushed for 91 yards and 2 touchdowns on 11 attempts. Understated: New York continues to get production out of understated receivers like Richie James (7-76-1) and Isaiah Hodgins (4-42-1). Big Return: In his first game appearance with the Giants since 2018, S Landon Collins scored on a 52-yard interception return. - The Giants also got strong performances out of DT Dexter Lawrence (4 tackles, 1 sack) and OLB Kayvon Thibodeaux (4 tackles, 1 sack). No. 6: The Giants will be the NFC’s No. 6 seed and are likely to visit either the 49ers or the Vikings in the wild-card round. Image: Rich Graessle/Icon Sportswire NFC Wild Card [Aaron Rodgers] Three teams are fighting for the last NFC wild-card spot Details: The Packers (8-8), Seahawks (8-8), and Lions (8-8) will be fighting for the NFC’s No. 7 seed in Week 18. - The Eagles, 49ers, Vikings, Buccaneers, Cowboys, and Giants have already clinched spots. Packers: The Packers have the most straightforward path — they get the final spot with a win over the Lions (at Lambeau Field) next week. - Green Bay owns a tiebreaker over Seattle. Seahawks: The Seahawks need to beat the Rams and have the Packers lose. Lions: The Lions need to beat the Packers and have the Seahawks lose. Detroit did beat Green Bay 15-9 in Week 9. Image: Larry Radloff/Icon Sportswire AFC Wild Card [Bill Belichick] Three teams are fighting for the last AFC wild-card spot Details: The Patriots (8-8), Dolphins (8-8), and Steelers (8-8) will be fighting for the AFC’s No. 7 seed in Week 18. - The Chiefs, Bills, Bengals, and Chargers have already clinched spots. - The AFC South will be determined in next week’s Jaguars vs. Titans game. Patriots: The Patriots will get the final spot with a win over the Bills on the road. - The Bills will be playing for the No. 1 seed and are unlikely to rest their starters. - Buffalo defeated New England 24-10 in Week 13. Dolphins: The Dolphins need to beat the Jets and have the Patriots lose. Third-string QB Skylar Thompson is in line to start vs. the Jets with Tua Tagovailoa (concussion protocol) and Teddy Bridgewater (broken finger) injured. Steelers: The Steelers need to beat the Browns and have the Patriots and the Dolphins lose. Really Crazy: If the Jaguars lose the AFC South matchup, they can still get the wild-card spot if the Patriots, Dolphins, and Steelers lose.

Vikings: The Vikings can only take the No. 1 seed with a win over the Bears and losses by the Eagles, 49ers, and Cowboys. AFC: The race for the No. 1 seed in the AFC is between the Bills (12-3), Chiefs (13-3), and Bengals (11-4). Bills: The Bills can clinch the top seed with a win over the Bengals tonight and a win over the Patriots in Week 18. Chiefs: The Chiefs need to beat the Raiders next week and have the Bills lose either tonight or next week.
