Seahawks Face Shanahan's Tweaked 49ers in a High-Stakes Divisional Showdown
Seattle heads into the NFC Divisional Round facing a retooled San Francisco offense under Kyle Shanahan that leans on gap runs, under-center play-action, and selective passes to keep linebackers honest. The Seahawks’ defense must maintain edge discipline to curb bootlegs and misdirection, while Klint Kubiak’s run schemes (split-zone/duo) aim to exploit the 49ers’ edge rush and create passing lanes. Offensively, finishing drives in the red zone and sustaining a strong rushing attack will be crucial to counter San Francisco’s adjustments and earn the win.
