The road to the Super Bowl in Santa Clara will run through Seattle after the Seahawks’ 13-3 win over San Francisco<\/a> on Saturday night. The 3 points are the fewest points the 49ers have scored in any game coached by Kyle Shanahan.<\/p>\n

Seattle is the NFC’s No. 1 seed for the fourth time in franchise history. The first three times, they went to the Super Bowl. The Seahawks<\/a>‘ win over the 49ers on Saturday night means the Eagles<\/a> will face either the Rams or San Francisco if they finish with the No. 3 seed.<\/p>\n

\"MatthewWild Card Scenario 1<\/p>\n

If Philadelphia defeats Washington and Chicago loses to Detroit, the Eagles would host the Packers in the wild-card game in back-to-back years. Green Bay is locked into the No. 7 seed.<\/p>\n

Wild Card Scenario 2<\/p>\n

If the Rams win on Sunday over the Cardinals<\/a>, Sean McVay’s team will be the No. 5 seed, and the 49ers will be the No. 6 seed. In this scenario, with the Eagles at the No. 3 seed, San Francisco would travel to Philadelphia, and Los Angeles would travel to the NFC South winner.<\/p>\n
