The NFC playoffs will induce yawns if no one's able to stand up to the increasingly stout Philadelphia Eagles (12-1).
The San Francisco 49ers (9-4) might make things interesting, and that's impressive because two of their starting quarterbacks were lost to injury and offensive star Deebo Samuel (ankle) was carted from Sunday's game.
With a defense that's the NFL's best statistically and Kyle Shanahan's ability to swing the chess match on offense, the Niners don't need a quarterback who's the next Joe Montana or Steve Young.
