The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> are taking on the Seattle Seahawks in a Saturday night showdown at 5 p.m. PDT on Jan. 3 at Levi\u2019s Stadium.<\/p>\n

The winner of Saturday night\u2019s game will take the NFC West crown and the No. 1 seed<\/a> in the playoffs, earning a bye next week in the wild-card round.<\/p>\n

The 49ers will need to slow down the NFL\u2019s leading receiver, Jaxon Smith-Njigba<\/a>, to keep the Seahawks from piling up the points. Meanwhile, the Niners have their own prolific offensive performer in Christian McCaffrey<\/a>, who just may be the most important non-quarterback in the playoff field.<\/p>\n
