However, the 49ers failed to progress further, falling 25–15 to the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card round.
This was the fourth time out of five games that they had lost to the Packers in the playoffs since the 1995 season.
The 49ers' twelve regular-season wins were the most ever for a #5 seed under the 1990 playoff expansion format.
Their three overtime wins tied the NFL record at the time, which has since been surpassed by the 2011 Arizona Cardinals and 2021 Las Vegas Raiders.
