The 49ers open this postseason with a similar challenge when they host NFC West rival Seattle in a wild-card playoff game Saturday less than a month after beating the Seahawks for the second time this season.
"I don't really look at it as you have to beat someone three times. I just look at it as we have to beat them on Saturday," Shanahan said. "That's the game, I don't think the other games have to do with it."
That game last year was decided on a few key plays down the stretch, like a potential dropped interception by San Francisco, a failed short-yardage conversion and then an interception by Jimmy Garoppolo on the final drive with the Niners attempting a comeback. "For the most part we were just behind the sticks a lot," quarterback Geno Smith said. "We were behind the chains and we were in second-and-longs and third-and-longs and that's not a recipe for winning football for us."
Those previous teams went 14-10 in the third meeting in the playoff, including the loss by San Francisco to the Rams last season on the road. But teams that hosted the third game had a 13-6 record.For the most part, 2022 was a career season for Seattle's DK Metcalf, with a career-best 90 receptions and topping 1,000 yards for the second time in his four seasons.
But Seattle could use Metcalf making an impact against the 49ers. He had 11 catches in the two games combined against San Francisco, but his longest reception went for only 13 yards as Charvarius Ward did a good job eliminating his big plays.Purdy has been on a remarkable run since taking over for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo, winning all five of his starts to extend San Francisco's winning streak to 10 games.
