It marks a rematch of last year's divisional round, where Seattle dominated San Francisco, 41-6, on its way to a Super Bowl LX victory.
The Niners entered Week 5 as one of three remaining undefeated teams, ranking second in the league with 30.5 points per game while leading the league in points per play at 6.8. They'll be without star defensive end Nick Bosa (knee/calf) for his third straight game, and also without fullback Kyle Juszczyk after he suffered a knee injury last week, a key component of San Francisco's run game.
