(The\u00a0Broncos\u00a0clinched a spot in Week 15 and the\u00a0Patriots\u00a0punched their ticket on Sunday night with a win over the\u00a0Ravens.)<\/p>\n As for the 49ers, they had already clinched a playoff spot before this game kicked off, but this was a huge win for them, because it means they still control their path to the No. 1 seed in the NFC. If the 49ers win their final two games, they’ll take home the NFC West title while also clinching the top seed.\u00a0<\/p>\n We’re not here to talk about the playoffs, though. We’re here to hand out grades, so let’s do it, starting with San Francisco’s big win over the Colts.\u00a0<\/p>\n Getty Images The NFL had some wild games in Week 16, but that drama didn’t translate to Monday night with the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0rolling to an 48-27 win over the\u00a0Indianapolis Colts.\u00a0 The\u00a0Jaguars,\u00a0Bills\u00a0and\u00a0Chargers\u00a0all needed a loss by the Colts to officially clinch a playoff berth, and that’s exactly what they got, so five of the AFC’s seven<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":38755,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[53],"tags":[7950,8210,2499,6379,15037,4084,6752,365,1714,1259],"class_list":{"0":"post-38754","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-49ers","9":"tag-earn","10":"tag-explosion","11":"tag-grades","12":"tag-mnf","13":"tag-nfl","14":"tag-steelers","15":"tag-week","16":"tag-wild","17":"tag-win"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=38754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/38754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/38755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=38754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=38754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/naijaglobalnews.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=38754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}San Francisco 48-27 over Indianapolis (Monday)<\/h2>\n
