The Kubiak brothers will go head-to-head in a win-or-go-home NFL playoff game this weekend, but there’s been no time to catch up.<\/p>\n
The 49ers pulled out a thrilling win over the reigning Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC wild-card round last weekend, which meant a divisional round matchup with their biggest rivals in Seattle, and 49ers offensive coordinator coming face-to-face with his big brother, Klint Kubiak, who is the offensive coordinator for the Seahawks.<\/p>\n
Klay spoke to Bay Area media before practice Wednesday and was asked who texted who first once the 49ers-Seahawks matchup was set — and the response might surprise you.<\/p>\n
“There’s been no texting this week,” Klay responded, sternly. “No time. Six-day week again. We got to just get to work.”<\/p>\n
OK, maybe not much of a surprise. It’s the playoffs, after all.<\/p>\n
And despite the Kubiaks being family, there’s not a lot of love to go around between these two teams and fan bases.<\/p>\n
Klay was responsible for the 49ers’ trick play that resulted in wide receiver Jauan Jennings throwing a touchdown pass to running back Christian McCaffrey in San Francisco’s victory against Philadelphia.<\/p>\n
We’ll see if either brother tries to pull a quick one on each other’s team this weekend.<\/p>\n
