49ers–Seahawks Week 18 Decider Sets NFC West Title and Top Seed, With Incentives in Play
Several players enter the finale close to contract triggers that hinge on snap counts or season-ending totals.
Overview
- The winner at Levi's Stadium secures the NFC West, the No. 1 seed, a first-round bye, and home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs.
- 49ers wideout Jauan Jennings earns an additional $800,000 with 35 offensive snaps, which would bring his season incentive total to $2.4 million.
- Kendrick Bourne needs 41 receiving yards to reach 600 for a $250,000 bonus after previously collecting $500,000 for hitting 500 yards.
- Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold sits just shy of several thresholds—100 passer rating, 28 touchdowns, 4,000 passing yards, and 67.5% completion—with each worth $500,000 and up to about $2 million combined.
- Seattle defenders Uchenna Nwosu needs two sacks to unlock $500,000 and DeMarcus Lawrence needs two for $250,000 that doubles with playoff qualification, while many other listed incentives are unlikely per Spotrac.
