How to watch Seahawks vs. 49ers wild card game originally appeared on NBC Sports Bayarea
It may be the wild card round, but this year’s NFL playoffs will begin with a matchup between division rivals when the second-seeded San Francisco 49ers host the seventh-seeded Seattle Seahawks.
The 49ers are riding a 10-game winning streak into the playoffs after starting the season 3-4. Brock “Mr. Irrelevant” Purdy has won each of his first six NFL starts to round out his rookie regular season and has been helped out by Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and a stellar defense.
On the other side, the Seahawks needed some assistance to squeak into the playoffs. It took overtime for them to beat the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18, and they needed the Detroit Lions’ upset victory over the Green Bay Packers to clinch the No. 7 seed.
As NFC West foes, the 49ers and Seahawks have already squared off twice this year with the division winners coming out on top both times. The 49ers won the first matchup 27-7 way back in Week 2 and picked up a 21-13 road win on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.
Can the 49ers earn a third win over the Seahawks this season, or will Seattle end San Francisco’s streak – and season? Here’s everything to know for the Seahawks-49ers wild card game:
