Kyle Shanahan confident, regardless of how NFC playoffs set up for 49ers

The NFL’s 256th and final regular season game of 2019 will be the most important.

The 49ers and Seattle Seahawks will be in the national spotlight Sunday night, as the game was flexed from an afternoon slot into prime time.

“I kind of expected it and it’s exciting,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said. “We always like that. The only negative is that it probably gives Seattle fans a little bit more time, but that doesn’t matter too much because it’s always as loud as it can be there.

“It’s always fun and an honor to have the 2019 season, for us and Seattle, to be the only two teams playing there at the end where everyone gets a chance to watch you.
