The Seahawks and 49ers played in the 2019 regular-season finale with the NFC West on the line like it will be Saturday when they play in Santa Clara.<\/p>\n

The victor will also claim the top seed in the NFC, a first-round bye, and homefield advantage throughout the postseason. A massive playoff advantage will be on the line.<\/p>\n It’s not a totally unfamiliar spot for division rivals. The Seahawks<\/a> and 49ers<\/a> played in the 2019 regular-season finale with the NFC West on the line. Veteran defensive tackle Jarran Reed is one of just five current Seahawks who were on that \u201819 team.<\/p>\n Reed reminisced on that game with reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n “That game definitely left a sour taste in my mouth,” Reed said about the 26-21 defeat. “You don’t forget those types of games, man. It’s a big moment. We’re not going to shy away from that. Everything is on the line right now. We know that.”<\/p>\n Sunday’s showdown is even bigger. Though that Seahawks-49ers 2019 contest decided the NFC West division, the No. 1 seed in the conference was not at stake. Reed was on the losing end of that showdown five years ago. He’ll hope to help catapult the Mike Macdonald-led Seahawks to a better finish this time around.<\/p>\n
