Seattle Seahawks travel to San Francisco to play the 49ers in a big NFL game between two top teams in football. The game will be live streamed at 4:25 PM ET.
With a playoff spot already secured, the Seahawks can focus on achieving some loftier goals.
Though the 49ers have been dominated by their division rivals in the last two meetings, they'll have more than revenge on their minds Sunday.
Looking for an eighth straight victory, the Seahawks can clinch the NFC West and a first-round bye while trying to avoid a fifth consecutive road defeat to the 49ers.
Owner of the NFL's best record, Seattle (11-1) earned a playoff berth after running its home win streak to 14 games with Monday's 34-7 rout of New Orleans.
"We accomplished something; we're a playoff team, which is great to know that," coach Pete Carroll said. "But that's not our goal, and we don't talk that way.
"We want to win this division, and that division gets us a chance to play at home, and that's what we're after. And then we'll talk about what comes next."
Seattle has held the 49ers to 520 total yards while outscoring them 71-16 in the last two meetings, but both came within the deafening confines of CenturyLink Field. The Seahawks, on the other hand, have been outscored 109-54 during their four-game skid at Candlestick Park.
While the 49ers can use that home success as a confidence-builder, avenging the last two losses in the series won't be their major means of motivation.
Colin Kaepernick has done a solid job managing the 49ers offense by completing 65.4 percent of his passes while throwing four touchdowns and no interceptions over the last two weeks. However, during the 29-3 loss at Seattle on Sept. 15, he was 13 of 28 for 127 yards with three interceptions and a fumble while being sacked three times. He did rush nine times for 87 yards.
Russell Wilson threw an INT without a TD in last season's loss at San Francisco, but has five touchdowns and two picks in the two wins. He's also completed 73.0 percent of his passes in his last four games overall, thrown 14 of his 22 touchdowns in the last six and only two of his six interceptions in the last seven.
Vernon Davis has recorded a TD in three straight games for the 49ers, but has four total receptions in the last three against the Seahawks and no touchdowns in his last five meetings. The 49ers' receiving corps will be healthier than in the first meeting, though, after Michael Crabtree made his season debut against the Rams and caught two passes for 68 yards.
San Francisco's offensive line, however, may be missing two of its anchors. Left tackle Joe Staley is likely out after he injured his knee last Sunday, while guard Mike Iupati may miss a third straight game with a similar injury.
Seattle receiver Percy Harvin hopes to play after he missed Monday's contest while dealing with soreness in his surgically repaired hip.
The game will be live streamed on Fox Television Network at 4:25 PM ET.
