This is just about as close to a playoff game as we'll get, without it actually being one. Yea the 49ers aren't playing for the spot, but they've been playing some solid football lately. We'll be going all the way out West (which isn't easy), we'll officially clinch the Division with a win and stay in the race for the possible #1, or #2 seed in the AFC.

It's a must win and losing this game will take a huge amount of the air out of the sails, in my opinion.

Not only that, but a loss Sunday combined with a tack win could put the 5 seed back in play for us.  What a disaster that would be from where we are right now.  This is absolutely a must win game for reasons you've given even if the tacks lose, which their result
should be known before we kick off.
