The Seattle Seahawks will host the San Francisco 49ers Week 17 at CenturyLink Field in a battle for the NFC West crown. With everything on the line for both teams, the game has been flexed to primetime “Sunday Night Football.”
“It’s a very special week for us – last week of the season,” coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday. “Playing for everything, for the division and all that. We’re very fortunate to be in that situation. It is what we aim for. This is what we always look towards. We’re always wondering if the chance to do something like this is going to happen on the road or happen at home. We’re thrilled we’ll be here.”
Both clubs have already clinched a spot in the playoffs, but the winner of Sunday’s matchup will own the division. The Seahawks beat the 49ers on the road earlier this year, but Carroll certainly isn’t looking past them at home.
“This is a really good football team we’re playing, obviously,” Carroll explained. “They’ve done so many good things this year. A fantastic turn around by their program and their coaches and their players and all that. They’ve been flying all season long. They’ve had a lot of really extraordinary games since we saw them in the last month and a half or whatever it is. They’re ready for everything right now.”
