The San Francisco 49ers don't necessarily need any extra motivation ahead of their highly anticipated divisional-round showdown against the Seattle Seahawks this Saturday.
Aside from the fact the two NFC West rivals don't like each other anyway, the Niners would love nothing more than to enact vengeance for what went down at Levi's Stadiuim in Week 18, a Hawks victory that ensured they'd receive both the top seed in the conference playoff picture and a first-round bye.
Beyond the in-division rivalry, San Francisco should be plenty motivated to keep the season going, if for no other reason than to keep alive hopes that All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner can return from a gruesome ankle injury that was once thought to be of the season-ending variety.
