The Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers are playing in the NFC Championship game on Sunday and the matchup starts at 6:30 pm ET and is from CenturyLink Field in Washington and has Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick matching up with a chance to go to the Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium and the game is streaming online from the NFL.com league website.
The Seahawks come into the game as the first seed in the NFC over the San Francisco 49ers and they are the fifth seed after winning 12 games and finishing second in the west division behind Seattle. The Seahawks came into the season as the Super Bowl favorites in the NFC and now they have the chance to deliver on that potential with a win against the Niners at home and that would be the second win against the team at the Link this season already. The Seahawks have only lost one game at home over the last two seasons and now that have the chance to advance the the championship with one more victory in front of the 12th man.
The Seahawks have overcome numerous injuries on offense this season with Sidney Rice and Percy Harvin missing significant time and the play of both Doug Baldwin and Golden Tate has given quarterback Russell Wilson very solid targets in their absence. Marshawn Lynch has been now of the best running backs in football since being traded to the Seahawks and this season he has once again been a beast and after rushing for 140 yards last week against the New Orleans Saints and he will be the best option for Russell Wilson, as he can help set up play action better than any other back in the NFL and he also has the chance to be a "beast" once again and with Percy Harvin out of action he will need to be at his best.

The Seahawks got another great season from Lynch and Wilson has established himself as one of the smartest young quarterbacks in the league, losing just one game at home over two seasons and the team comes in to this game after having a seven game winning streak on the schedule this year. The team lost a close game on the road to the 49ers and then won on the road against the NY Giants at MetLife Stadium and they are hoping that was the first time of two this season. The Niners are coming into the game after dominating on the road against the Panthers and they have a top ranked defense and they will need everyone to step up to win in Seattle, as it is one of the hardest places to play in the league.
The Niners finished the regular season schedule with six straight wins and now they have won two more games against the Panthers and the Packers and those were both impressive and now Colin Kaepernick has the chance to go to two straight Super Bowls. The team comes in very strong and this is the third time these two teams are playing and the matchup starts up at 6:30 pm ET on FOX from CenturyLink Field and should be one of the best of the season for the NFC Championship game.
