On the latest episode of The 415ers, hosts Evan Giddings and Marc Grandi react to the San Francisco 49ers' 38-13 win over the Arizona Cardinals, the team's 10th-straight win to close out the regular season. With the win, the 49ers clinched the No. 2 seed in the NFC and have earned a home date with divisional foe Seattle in the NFL's Super Wild Card weekend.
(1:30) After a slow start, San Francisco's defense -- a week after a disappointing game in Las Vegas -- didn't allow a point in the second half, forced four turnovers, and heads into the postseason feeling good about themselves. Plus, Brock Purdy led another efficient offensive performance.
(16:29) But beyond Purdy, Week 18 saw the return of Elijah Mitchell and Deebo Samuel and saw George Kittle continue to dominate in the red zone. Is he becoming this team's second-most important offensive weapon? And now with a fully-healthy complement of weapons, is the 49ers' offense unfair to opponents?
(31:02) Plus, Evan and Marc look at how the NFC playoff picture played out. Obviously the one seed is valuable, but could it have played out any better for the 49ers in the No. 2 seed than this? With the team's 10-game winning streak and the postseason set up, are you expectations for San Francisco to win the NFC? Also, Marc takes a long-awaited victory lap and the guys hand out game balls!
