Anquan Boldin: "We're playing for our lives"

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin has urged his side to approach every match like a playoff game from now on.

The 49ers prevented the Seattle Seahawks from sealing the NFC West at Candlestick Park yesterday, beating the division leaders 19-17 thanks to a late Phil Dawson field goal.

San Francisco are still two wins behind the Seahawks with just three matches left in the regular season, and Boldin believes that his team have no choice but to win their remaining matches if they want to reach the NFL playoffs.

"We're playing for our lives. We're playing playoff football right now. It's win or go home," Boldin told The AP.

The 49ers take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their next match before ending their season with games against the Atlanta Falcons and the Arizona Cardinals.
