The bye week was kind to the 49ers aside from getting the chance to rest up following a “slow and tired” performance against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 8.
They play the Seahawks head-to-head over a three-week span beginning with a Thanksgiving game. The 49ers visit AFC No. 3 seed Jacksonville and then get Tampa Bay at home before heading to the Great Northwest. Let’s assume for a moment the 49ers look something closer to the team they were at 5-0 than the one that lost three straight after a week’s rest. It’s within their power to be playing in Philly in Week 13 with a chance to tie the Eagles in terms of win-loss record, thereby moving ahead of them for seeding purposes if they were to win head-to-head.
