How to watch the 49ers vs. Seahawks Saturday night

The San Francisco 49ers are taking on the Seattle Seahawks in a Saturday night showdown at 5 p.m. PDT on Jan. 3 at Levi’s Stadium.

The winner of Saturday night’s game will take the NFC West crown and the No. 1 seed in the playoffs, earning a bye next week in the wild-card round.

The 49ers will need to slow down the NFL’s leading receiver, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, to keep the Seahawks from piling up the points. Meanwhile, the Niners have their own prolific offensive performer in Christian McCaffrey, who just may be the most important non-quarterback in the playoff field.
