Quarterback Sam Darnold finds himself in the same exact situation he was in last year when he was the signal caller for the Minnesota Vikings. In that season, Darnold, one of the league\u2019s top receivers and one of the best defenses in the NFL were on the road to take on a division foe with the No. 1 seed in the NFC on the line. The Vikings lost, were the No. 5 seed, and then lost on the road to the NFC West champion Los Angeles Rams. This time around, Jaxon Smith-Njigba replaces Justin Jefferson, and the defense Darnold is leaning on is ranked fifth in yards and second in scoring compared to 17th in yards and fifth in scoring.<\/p>\n The 49ers need a win to get the No. 1 seed, but a tie would clinch the No. 5 seed. San Francisco is in a situation where it could avoid leaving home for the rest of the season with a win, as Super Bowl LX will be held at Levi\u2019s Stadium. Brock Purdy was injured for about half of the season, and with him down, Christian McCaffrey, Jauan Jennings and George Kittle have stepped up even more to keep the offense almost as lethal as its ever been under coach Kyle Shanahan. With a loss, San Francisco could drop down to the No. 6 seed if the Rams also win on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals.<\/p>\n In Week 1, the 49ers went on the road and defeated the Seahawks, 17-13, as Purdy tossed a game-winning score in the final 94 seconds because Darnold fumbled with Seattle at the San Francisco 16-yard-line and around 40 seconds left.<\/p>\n WATCH NFL GAMES FOR FREE HERE<\/a><\/p>\n Who: Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers<\/p>\n When: Saturday, Jan. 3 at 8 p.m. EST<\/p>\n Where: Levi\u2019s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.<\/p>\n Stream: DIRECTV (free trial)<\/a>; FuboTV (free trial)<\/a>; SlingTV<\/a>; ESPN<\/a>; NFL+<\/a><\/p>\n
