With emotions running high, the showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers will be an intense one.
49ers linebacker Patrick Willis said, "There's no question there's a lot of hostility between us, but at the end of the day they're another football team so there's always going to be dislikes."
Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman has historically been the most vocal about the 49ers.
"There's no love lost, there's no love found. That's how I characterize it. I mean, it's going to be intense, it's going to be physical. I don't know if there are going to be handshakes after this one," said Sherman.
This will be a tight, defensive struggle and the Bay Area is ready to find out who will represent the NFC in Super Bowl XLVIII!
