Additional context on playoff scenarios:
This matchup is a heated NFC West divisional rivalry rubber game — the teams split the regular-season series (49ers won the early meeting, Seahawks won 13-3 in Week 18 to clinch the No. 1 seed and home-field advantage).
Due to seeding rules, the 49ers cannot face the No. 2 seed Chicago Bears, No. 5 seed Los Angeles Rams, or other lower seeds until the NFC Championship Game (if they advance that far). Their immediate path forward runs through the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks, who earned the first-round bye and home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs.This high-stakes rematch in Seattle promises playoff intensity, defensive battles, and the potential for another classic low-scoring affair under the lights at Lumen Field.
