It's a Saturday night showdown as the Seahawks host the 49ers this weekend in a divisional playoff game before a hometown crowd.
A win would send the Hawks to the NFC Championship game, putting them just one step shy of the Super Bowl.
Both teams enter this weekend's rematch with momentum.
Seattle finished atop the NFC and earned the No. 1 seed, securing a week of rest and home-field advantage through the conference playoffs.
San Francisco, meanwhile, is coming off a gritty 23–19 wild card win over the Eagles, showing it can grind out close postseason games on the road.
Seattle could get a boost on special teams, with linebacker Chazz Surratt designated to return from an ankle injury.
Surratt was among Seattle's most heavily used special teams players, ranking among the team leaders in special teams snaps, per Field Gulls.
Catch up quick: The teams split their regular-season meetings, with the Hawks beating the Niners 13-3 on Jan. 3 and the 49ers beating the Hawks 17–13 back in Week 1.
