In addition to their standard AFC West matchups, the Silver and Black will take on the AFC East and NFC West next season.

Watch the Seattle Seahawks against the San Francisco 49ers live on Sky Sports NFL on Saturday night, before the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens battle for the AFC North division title and the final AFC playoff spot in Sunday Night Football.

There is no one path to success, however. New England hired a defensive coach in Mike Vrabel, and he worked well with quarterback Drake Maye to helped the Patriots go from a 4-13 record to 14-3 and the No. 2 seed in the AFC playoffs.

The Las Vegas Raiders fired Pete Carroll after just one year, meaning they will enter their third consecutive season with a new coach in charge.

The road to the Super Bowl in the NFC goes through Seattle. The Seahawks secured the No. 1 seed and won the NFC West with a 13-3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday night in a showdown that had major ramifications. The 49ers could have won the division but instead will be the No. 5 or 6 seed.
