For the Seattle Seahawks to host another playoff game and move closer to the fourth Super Bowl appearance in franchise history, they will have to dispose of a familiar foe.
Very familiar.
The top-seeded Seahawks (14-3) host the San Francisco 49ers (13-5) in the NFC’s divisional round on Saturday night. It’ll be the second meeting in three weeks between the NFC West rivals and the third time they have squared off in the playoffs.
Seattle won the division and secured the No. 1 seed with a dominant 13-3 win over Brock Purdy and the host 49ers on Jan. 3. That was the lowest scoring output for the Niners since they lost 23-3 to Carolina in coach Kyle Shanahan’s debut in 2017.
Purdy said San Francisco will have to make adjustments against the NFL’s top-ranked scoring defense.
„We just played them two weeks ago, so looking back at the other game plan as well and having it sort of fresh in your mind“, Purdy said, „picking it up where you left off and obviously making some changes where you need to. But yeah, it feels like we just played them.
