The #1 Seed in the NFC All Comes Down to Week 18 for 49ers

Jan 2, 2026 7:48 PM

Currently on a six-game win streak (having won seven of their last eight), the San Francisco 49ers will host the Seattle Seahawks at Levi's Stadium for a "winner-take-all" week 18 showdown. 

The winner will secure the NFC West in the process. But most importantly, the victor will then head into the postseason as the #1 seed in the entire NFC and have a bye to start the Playoffs. 

Head coach Kyle Shanahan and his coaching staff should be commended for putting together one of the greatest displays of organizational endurance in NFL history. 

They've battled through key injuries, a tough division and even behind-the-scenes issues with personnel. Through it all, the 49ers continued to display a championship pedigree. 

Now, they get to settle things once and for all against the Seahawks in what should be one of the greatest contests of the season.
