What you need to know about the San Francisco 49ers, the Seahawks’ Week 12 opponent.
The Seahawks-49ers rivalry was at its peak when they played their first Thanksgiving Day game against each other in 2014 at the new Levi’s Stadium.
The Seahawks won 19-3, and afterward, NBC set up a Thanksgiving spread on the 49ers logo at midfield where Richard Sherman and Russell Wilson memorably chewed on turkey legs during their postgame interview.
49ers owner Jed York apologized to fans for the team’s performance on Twitter, marking the beginning of the end of John Harbaugh’s coaching tenure there.

Nine years later, the 49ers head to Seattle for both teams’ first Thanksgiving Day game since that 2014 showdown. The Seahawks are 2-2 all-time on Thanksgiving, and the 49ers are 0-2.
The rivalry turned considerably one-sided last season, with the 49ers winning all three matchups — including a playoff victory in Santa Clara — and outscoring the Seahawks by a combined margin of 89-43.
