Good morning (or good afternoon/evening if you're one of our non-American friends) folks, it's game day! In what would have been a much ballyhooed affair just a few (very long) years ago, the 49ers return to Seattle to play a divisional matchup. This game has playoff implications for Seattle, as they remain in the hunt for a wild-card playoff spot, but the 49ers have little other than pride to play for.
The major draw of this game to the greater NFL fanbase is a simple, but unlikely storyline. In a bygone era when the 49ers were good, they visited Seattle during the NFC Championship Game in a battle to represent the conference in the Super Bowl.
