The 49ers will get a chance at postseason revenge against the Seattle Seahawks.

San Francisco secured the No. 2 seed with their 38-13 romp over the Cardinals. A 19-16 overtime win over the Rams put Seattle in position to stay in the playoff hunt. They punched their ticket with the Lions’ 20-16 defeat of the Packers on Sunday night.

Seattle holds the head-to-head tiebreaker over the Lions which is why they snatched the No. 7 seed.

This will mark the first time the 49ers and Seahawks have faced off in the postseason since their epic NFC Championship Game in January of 2014 in Seattle.

The 49ers went 2-0 against the Seahawks this season. They beat them 27-7 at Levi’s Stadium in Week 2, then knocked them off in Week 15 at Seattle 21-13 to secure the NFC West championship.
