49ers vs. Seahawks: Three must-know storylines for Saturday's Divisional Round game

The Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers will face off at Lumen Field in Seattle at 8 p.m. ET for the NFC Divisional Round, with the game broadcast on FOX, FOX One, FOX Deportes, and NFL+. The Seahawks, who secured the NFC West and the conference's top seed, are coming off a bye week. They will rely on their strong pass rush, which ranks fourth in the NFL in QB pressure rate, to challenge the 49ers' offense, particularly quarterback Brock Purdy, who has struggled against the blitz this season.

The 49ers, despite significant injuries, including the loss of key players like George Kittle, have advanced to the Divisional Round after a road win in Philadelphia during Wild Card Weekend. Coach Kyle Shanahan will need to develop a strategy to overcome Seattle's defense and avoid a repeat of their Week 18 defeat to the Seahawks, where they failed to score a touchdown.
