Fox posted an eight-second graphic after the Niners won 26-8 on Sunday, showing 49ers mascot Sourdough Sam pushing a wooden crate filled with gold out of a gold mine. But sitting on top of the mine is Sanders, who is tied up by rope to the top of the pile with his helmet next to his side.

Week 14 power rankings after their third straight win. See where San Francisco ranks and what it means for their NFC playoff push.

Despite San Francisco securing a hard-earned victory over the Cleveland Browns and the Los Angeles Rams falling to the Carolina Panthers, Los Angeles remains atop the division thanks to having fewer total losses than the 49ers.

San Francisco (8-4) took down Carolina (6-6) Monday night at Levi’s Stadium, 20-9. The 49ers move into the final NFC wild-card spot and are 1½ games behind the Rams in the NFC West. They have now won back-to-back games for the first time since September. The Panthers have lost three of their past five games.
