clinched #1

after the christmas loss to the ravens, we bounced back with a win over the commanders.  i wasn't able to watch but gamecasted the plays and scoring via my trusty espn app while shopping at costco. it sounded tighter than it should have been that first half but the boys took care of business in the second. i hadn't paid too much attention to the playoff seeding scenarios, but knew we had to take care of business to get that number one. the cowboys beat the lions on sunday, which generally i hate to see the cowboys win but it was in our favor. then, minutes after our victory the cards were taking care of the eagles. thanks cards for that and now we have the #1 and a bye. we have the rams for our final game of the regular season but we can largely rest key players. brock purdy bounced back from the 4 interception rout from baltimore. cmc went out in the third with a calf thing. doesn't seem serious but we will rest him next week ashe hasbeen our workhorse all season. i'm loving the locker room mentality staying locked in for the endgame - a super bowl. they are citing improvements that still need to be made and not resting on laurels. most of all they express their genuine love for the team and their unselfishness. it reminds me of another bay area team near and dear to my heart.
