Seahawks vs. 49ers: How to watch, game time, live TV, streaming and more

The Seattle Seahawks (7-6) are in danger of turning an unexpectedly quality season into the disappointment of collapsing out of a playoff spot. On ‘Thursday Night Football’ under the bright lights of Lumen Field, Seattle will look to keep their playoff hopes in good shape and deny the San Francisco 49ers (9-4) their second NFC West title in four seasons.

Seattle has dropped three out of four, getting gashed on the ground in all of those games. Against both the Carolina Panthers and Las Vegas Raiders, they allowed over 200 yards rushing, to the dismay of the home fans. The run defense has been dismal, as has the rushing offense (although Kenneth Walker III will play tonight), and Geno Smith’s hot start has cooled off into something more middling with some critical turnovers mixed in with his best plays.

This all seems like a recipe for disaster against a 49ers team with the league’s best defense, one of the league’s best running backs in Christian McCaffrey, and an offensive system that is so solid that Brock Purdy can come in and look like a Pro Bowl quarterback. Purdy might not play given his oblique injury, in which case Josh Johnson (!!!) would step in as San Fran’s fourth QB of the year.

If the Seahawks win they keep themselves in a good playoff position. If the 49ers win the NFC West is theirs and Seattle no longer controls its own destiny for a return to the postseason.
