The Last 49ers vs Seahawks Game:

The Seahawks won the NFL West only by defeating the 49ers in Week 18 of the 2025 NFL season with a 13-3 scoreline. Zach Charbonnet scored the only touchdown on a 27-yard run in the first quarter, while Jason Myers added field goals of 45 yd and 31 yd for Seattle. The 49ers’ only points came on a 48-yard field goal.

But the picture is different in the playoffs. The 49ers handed the Seahawks a 41-23 defeat the last time they met in the 2022 NFC Wild Card Game.

What Are the Head Coaches Saying?

The 49ers head coach, Kyle Shanahan, has stressed the rivalry these two teams have, talking about how they have known each other since they played multiple games as opponents.

"We know each other very well. We've played against each other a ton. The schemes even the last time we played didn't change much on both sides as opposed to Week 1. So, I think both teams got an idea of exactly what to expect."

Seahawks head coach, Mike Macdonald, was more concerned about Sam Darnold since he is injured. He talked about his condition and who could replace him.

"Really optimistic he's going to be able to play, and right now, we're going through all the protocols, one, just out of caution, to make sure we're ready to go. We'll test it out tomorrow to kind of make the final decision.

Prediction

The 49ers do not have George Kittle, the man who has 57 catches for 628 yards and scored 7 touchdowns in 11 games this season. He would be very useful against the league's 10th-ranked passing defense (193.9 yards per contest).

The Seahawks surrendered the second-fewest yards to wide receivers during the regular season, and they are most likely to take this one.
