With most of the Week 15 action in the books, it's clear the 49ers likely will play an NFC East team in the wild-card round of the playoffs. But which team is still to be determined.
After the Giants beat the Washington Commanders, 20-12, on "Sunday Night Football," the No. 3 seeded 49ers would host New York in the first round if the NFC playoffs began next weekend.
Because the Giants and Commanders played to a 20-20 tie in Week 13, the tiebreaker was their records within the NFC East. Now that the Giants won the second meeting, they move up to the No. 6, which would set up a matchup with the 49ers at Levi's Stadium.

Of course, plenty can change over the next three weeks.
The 49ers still have a shot at moving up to the No. 2 seed, but they would need help from the Minnesota Vikings, who tried extremely hard to allow San Francisco to leapfrog them this weekend before escaping with a historic comeback win over the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday.
Through Week 15, the 49ers have a better conference record (8-2) than the Vikings (6-3), so if that holds up and they finish with the same records, the 49ers would hold the tiebreaker.
