Without even playing, the San Francisco 49ers made NFL history tonight.

This season has been a crazy journey for the San Francisco 49ers. From the lows of losing Trey Lance at the beginning of the season to Jimmy Garoppolo

and the defence putting them on a roller coaster until the bye, to Garoppolo's loss and having to rely on Brock Purdy.

However, the 49ers didn't even need to play a single game to make NFL history tonight. The Raiders' defeat to the Chiefs today made the 49ers the first team in NFL history

Whether they won or lost, each of the 15 teams the 49ers faced this season lost the week after if they still had a game to play.

Although Lombardi speculated that the 49ers' "uniquely physical style" may have been a contributing factor, that is only conjecture.

The 49ers' status as one of the league's top teams for more than two months is not up for debate. Have have a nine-game winning streak that is an NFL record

The abrupt substitution of rookie Brock Purdy at quarterback in place of the hurt Jimmy Garoppolo broke that nine-game winning streak.

This season, they have kept 12 opponents to fewer than 20 points, and Nick Bosa is the overwhelming favourite to earn Defensive Player of the Year.
