49ers coach Kyle Shanahan knows the challenges of trying to beat an opponent three times in a season after falling short a year ago in the playoffs against the Rams.
The Niners have had the advantage so far this year against the Seahawks, winning 27-7 at home in Week 2 and then going to Seattle for a 21-13 victory Dec. 15 in rookie quarterback Brock Purdy's first road start.
The Seahawks have had good success over the years against the Niners with Shanahan in charge, winning eight of the 12 games. But San Francisco took the most important one so far in a Week 17 showdown in 2019 that decided the NFC West title. Despite those numbers, he mostly disappeared the final two weeks. Metcalf was held to one catch for 3 yards in a Week 17 win over the Jets and last weekend against the Rams had more activity jawing with Jalen Ramsey than catching passes, it seemed. Metcalf had just three catches for 40 yards on eight targets against the Rams.
Purdy has thrown multiple TD passes in six straight games for the longest streak for a rookie. Many of those passes have gone to tight end George Kittle, who has seven TD catches in the past four games.
