Two years ago, the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks were playing in the NFC Championship Game. Now they are playing for survival.
The NFC West rivals each come into Week 7 with a 2-4 record, two full games behind the Arizona Cardinals for first place in the division. While there is still time (and a lot of division games) left to turn things around, a loss in this game will make reaching the playoffs extremely difficult for either team.
Adding desperation to an already heated rivalry could make this Thursday night battle a game to remember.
