It’s been a while since there was a true rivalry between the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks. And it’s sad to say, at least in recent years, the Seahawks have had the better hand, ultimately putting to rest the once-heated NFC West rivalry between these two squads that existed earlier this decade.
But one could argue 2019 is changing all that.
At 8-0, the still-undefeated Niners have the inside path to claim the division title for the first time since 2012. At 7-2, Seattle is 1.5 games behind San Francisco in the standings and two games behind in the loss column.
