Brock Purdy and the 49ers advanced to the NFC’s divisional playoff round Saturday with an intense 41-23 win over the Seattle Seahawks to kick off Super Wild Card Weekend.<\/p>\n

San Francisco, the No. 2 seed in the NFC bracket, will welcome its next opponent to Levi’s Stadium next weekend, but who the 49ers will play depends on the remaining wild-card game outcomes.<\/p>\n

Should the No. 6 New York Giants beat the No. 3 Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, Daniel Jones and Co. would play the No. 1-seeded Philadelphia Eagles. The 49ers, meanwhile, would face the winner of Monday night’s Dallas Cowboys-Tampa Bay Buccaneers game in that scenario.<\/p>\n

But if the Vikings win Sunday, Minnesota would travel to face San Francisco instead, and Philadelphia would play the Dallas-Tampa Bay winner.<\/p>\n

Scenario No. 1 poses some familiar situations for the 49ers. They already beat the Buccaneers in Week 14 of the regular season, and a rematch between the GOAT (Tom Brady) and Mr. Irrelevant (Purdy) certainly would make for must-watch TV. And after knocking the Cowboys out of the playoffs last year, San Francisco likely would take great pleasure in doing so again.<\/p>\n

After the 49ers overtook the Vikings for the No. 2 seed late in the season, it’d also be the icing on the cake if Purdy sent Kirk Cousins \u200b\u200band Co. packing<\/p>\n

It took a complete team performance for the 49ers to take down the Seahawks in Round 1. And once things got rolling on both sides of the ball, San Francisco looked unstoppable.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now, the 49ers will take all of that energy into the divisional round — no matter who awaits.<\/p>\n
