We are at the eve of Week 15 kicking off in the NFL when the 49ers and Seahawks square up for an NFC West head-to-head on Thursday night that could have implications for the overall playoff seeding in the conference. With a win, San Francisco would clinch the division title, while Seattle is looking to climb back into the playoff picture with a win of their own. Meanwhile, there are also a number of clinching scenarios for Week 15, so this slate will be appointment viewing all the way through.

Meanwhile, we’ll also take a look at the final injury report for “Thursday Night Football” between the Niners and Seahawks.
