Sunday Night Open Thread: San Francisco 49ers at New England Patriots

If the Patriots lose, the Broncos control their own destiny for the second seed in the AFC, ensuring them a first round bye.

I don't think I need to explain the importance of this game, but I will. If the Patriots lose, the Broncos control their own destiny for the second seed in the AFC, ensuring them a first round bye. If the Patriots win, the Broncos must win out and hope that the Jacksonville Jaguars or Miami Dolphins can beat them.

I wouldn't count on it.

Today is the day. The 49ers must win.
