The Seattle Seahawks were always unlikely to play the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional round of the playoffs. Defeating the Eagles in Philadelphia with all the injuries San Francisco suffered in 2025 was a daunting task. (At the time of this writing, the game hasn't been played, but let's likely assume the future we all know will unfold.)
With an Eagles victory, they would next play the Chicago Bears, while Seattle would host the Los Angeles Rams. And let's be real: The Seahawks and the Rams have been the best two teams in the NFC for most of the season.
