The Seahawks have a few rivals, but their biggest one is probably the San Francisco 49ers. The two teams have been division rivals since the Seahawks joined the NFC West in 2002, and they’ve played each other twice a year since then. The rivalry has been a close one, with each team winning 19 games against the other.
The Seahawks and 49ers have both been among the best teams in the NFL over the past few years, which has only added to the intensity of their rivalry. In 2012, they met in an epic NFC Championship game that saw the Seahawks come back from a 20-point deficit to win 28-22 in overtime. That game is considered one of the best games in NFL history, and it’s certainly helped fuel this rivalry even further.
Both teams are expected to be contenders again in 2019, so there’s a good chance we’ll see another chapter or two added to this already great rivalry.
