this is a team that lost to the Cardinals 2nd string team at home, 31-17. this is a team that scored 23 points in the 1st half against Seattle, and was then shutout and lost inside the 5-yard line. this was a team that should have blown out Tennessee on a Thursday night, and lost instead 20-17.
this was a team down 17-0, on the road, to the Rams, the #2 seed at that time. this was a team, down 7, having to go 88 yards in under 90 seconds without a timeout, just to tie the game, with Jimmy Garoppolo, a QB who ESPN's Mina Kimes said "didn't do any of the work, but got all the credit".
yes, house money is real. and that's what this team is playing with.

This is just nonsense. The regular season is over, there's no such thing as 'well, we weren't supposed to be here anyway, so who cares what happens!'
The four teams left are one game from the Super Bowl, there is pressure to win no matter how each team got there.
