The San Francisco 49ers continue to find ways to win ugly, and as frustrating as that can be, it still has resulted in a win each of the last three weeks. They have a lot of work to do if they want to actually do some damage in January, but for now they are at least keeping the dream alive. That's something.
The 49ers head into a short week, getting ready to face the Seattle Seahawks in a matchup with huge divisional and wild card implications. For now though, the 49ers can celebrate a good day, as they improved to 7-4 and kept themselves in the thick of the playoff race.
