In a surprising turn of events this season, the Seattle Seahawks, initially viewed as underdogs, have clinched the NFC's top seed with a remarkable record of 14-3. Their transformation involved significant roster changes, including the trading of Geno Smith and the signing of Sam Darnold, alongside letting go of star wide receiver DK Metcalf. These strategic moves have paid off, as the Seahawks are now on the brink of their first Super Bowl title in 12 years.

The Seahawks' dominance was particularly evident in their recent games against the San Francisco 49ers, where they outplayed their division rivals. In Week 18, they defeated the 49ers decisively, securing their playoff position, and followed it up with another victory in the divisional round. Christian McCaffrey, the 49ers running back, recognized the Seahawks' excellent performance, stating they had indeed 'had their number' in both encounters, highlighting the need for the 49ers to improve their play.

As the Super Bowl approaches, the rivalry between the Seahawks and 49ers intensifies, with both teams aiming for glory. The recognition from McCaffrey and Brock Purdy emphasizes the quality of the Seahawks as a formidable opponent, one that cannot be underestimated. With the Super Bowl title on the line, both teams are preparing for what is anticipated to be a thrilling matchup.
