SANTA CLARA – Name it and Arik Armstead has just about experienced it when it comes to playing in Seattle. The crowd noise. The Marshawn Lynch runs. The Russell Wilson escapes.
Armstead is in his fifth and best season as a 49ers defensive lineman. This Sunday night’s visit, he’d like to experience his first win in Seattle, one that would give the 49ers (12-3) the NFC playoffs’ No. 1 seed and their first NFC West title since 2012.
“Seattle is loud and crazy and I love playing up there,” Armstead said. “It’s a big game, a hyped-up crowd and what you live for – to play in games like this.
