What started at Lumen Field in September and peaked at Levi’s Stadium in early January now returns to the Pacific Northwest for its final, high-stakes act. After bookending the regular season with two physical, defensive battles, the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are set for a rubber match in the Divisional Round of the NFC playoffs.
The 49ers set the tone early, spoiling Sam Darnold's Seahawks debut with a gritty 17-13 victory in Seattle, sealed by a late Nick Bosa strip-sack. In Week 18, with the NFC West title and the No. 1 seed on the line, the Seahawks exacted revenge in Santa Clara. Behind a historic defensive performance that held San Francisco to a season-low 3 points, Seattle secured a 13-3 win and the first-round bye.
Now, following the 49ers' Wild Card victory over the Eagles, the scene shifts back to Seattle. For the Seahawks, it’s a chance to use their hard-earned home-field advantage to reach the NFC Championship; for the 49ers, it’s a shot at redemption against the team that snatched the top seed from their grasp just two weeks ago and move closer to the Super Bowl at their home stadium.
