The San Francisco 49ers are moving on to the Divisional Round of the playoffs. The 49ers took on the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles in a game in which they weren't favored to win. But it's not surprising that the team that won 12 games despite all of their injuries this year did the unthinkable once again, picking up the 23-19 victory.
Since the 49ers are the No. 6 seed, the lowest seed to advance to the Divisional Round, they will have to take on the No. 1 seed. That just so happens to be the Seattle Seahawks, who defeated the 49ers last week to clinch home field advantage and a first-round bye. This is the 49ers' chance at revenge.
Wide receiver Jauan Jennings was asked by a reporter about playing the Seahawks in Seattle next week. Jennings quickly responded with "can't wait" before leaving the room.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings has revenge on his mind before Seahawks rematch
Can you tell that Jennings is excited about facing the Seahawks?
Jennings said the same thing during his on-field interview with NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. When Garafolo brought up that the 49ers are set to take on the Seahawks in the Divisional Round, Jennings said, "Let’s go! I can’t wait! That’s who we wanted."

In the season-opener, the 49ers picked up a 17-13 win over the Seahawks. Last week, the two rivals took part in a game with the NFC West Championship and the No. 1 seed in the conference on the line. The 49ers notably didn't have Trent Williams active for the game due to a hamstring injury, and his absence loomed large. The 49ers offense was held to just three points and 173 yards on 42 plays by the Seahawks defense.
The 49ers are looking to carry their momentum from Philadelphia into Seattle next week. Jennings had a big moment in their win over the Eagles, throwing a 29-yard touchdown to Christian McCaffrey. Does he have another big moment in him next weekend?
One thing is for certain next week, and that's that the 49ers and Jennings are ready for revenge against the Seahawks.
