As the 49ers filed into their locker room following Sunday's win over the Commanders, they were greeted by team CEO Jed York with a handshake and a score update.

The Cardinals had just taken the lead against the Eagles with 32 seconds remaining, leaving the Niners a few plays away from wrapping up the NFC's No. 1 seed, along with the first-round bye and home-field advantage.

Niners players and coaches rushed to a tiny corner and huddled around a small television showing the final seconds. When Jalen Hurts' last-gasp throw was intercepted, the room burst into loud cheers and a wild celebration.

With the Niners' 27-10 win, the Cardinals' victory against Philadelphia and the Dallas Cowboys' controversial win against the Detroit Lions on Saturday night, the NFC's road to the Super Bowl runs through Levi's Stadium.

Terry McLaurin didn't have a catch in the Washington Commanders' loss to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday and is growing frustrated.

After playing 45 snaps but never getting the ball, McLaurin said, "I ran a lot of cardio," and added, "Yeah, it's frustrating."

Ron Rivera said he and offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy have both talked to McLaurin about his frustrations.

"I've talked with Terry before, and we've talked about those things, and I know he's talked to Eric, and he's gone in, and he and EB have good conversations from what I understand," Rivera said. "That's then to me that's the way you handle it is you go in and you talk directly. I think that's big of what he's been doing. It's been big of him to come in and fight the frustration and talk about it if that's what needs to be."

Ron Rivera will finish the season as the head coach of the Washington Commanders despite back-to-back 30-plus point losses.

The team fired defensive coordinator Jack Del Rio after a 45-10 loss to the Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving.

A source confirmed after both of the losses that Rivera will keep his job through the end of the year.

Washington has Week 14 off.
