Todays loser will have the playoff hopes diminished. The last time they met it was the nfc championship game, with seattle winning. They won their first super bowl title two weeks later. The moment we remember from that game is the final interception to seal the w for the seahawks, thanks in part to Richard Sherman knocking down Colin Kaepernicks pass to michael crabtree. Colin is at levi stadium on the field. This game has been marked by both teams all season on their calendars. Reporter you said it. I guarantee you, everyone in the stadium will have their eyes glued on crabtree and sherman. Whenever they line up opposite one another tonight, lets be honest, it was the defining play of what turned out to be the gamewinning play in the nfc championship game, as you mentioned. Sherman with a handshake gesture toward crabtree. It preserved the 2317 lead for seattle. They went on to win the super bowl, like you said. Sherman thought crabtree disrespected him the previous offseason. Tonight they meet for the First Time Since that play. Neither spoke to the media about it this week. But crabtrees fellow teammate Stevie Johnson did. With the rivalry thing, i think every cornerback would go, were ready, were geared up. We feel like its going to be intense. Who knows. You know, i just found out about this. Reporter knowing richard, its a safe bet he has something planned for crabtree tonight, too. It only adds to the rivalry that is obviously one of the best in the nfl. Hey, you know, ive got a question for you. Is there a cornerback, back in your day, that just kind of gave you the business that rubbed you the yong way, like sherman does for crabtree . Pretty much every quarterback. Blunt was tough for me. I always had problems for him. The 49ers won five straight games at home against seattle, but none at levi stadium. I dont get a feeling theres a 12th man at the stadium yet. Do you get that feeling, or no . Reporter you know, i dont. Weve both been to a game in seattle. The fans stay the entire game. I think it will take that sort of effort from the fans here obviously tonight. Its thanksgiving. Theyre in primetime. You know these fans are going to be jacked up. But i do see a lot of seattle fans here right now. Always fun to watch, no matter what the results. Who do you like in this game, colin . Reporter well, heres what i think. Yeah, im from seattle. But i like the win 203. Im sorry, we had a little technical difficulty there. I didnt quite hear what you said. Reporter ill say it again. I think the will win 2013. Okay. Reporter reporting live at levi stadium, abc 7 sports. Schu, back to you. Colin obviously doesnt want any haters out there. He feels like seattle is going to win this game. Ill take the 49ers. Theyve won every big game theyve needed to win this year. We hope so. The diplomat. Thank you. Tailgating started early and fans were serving up special food items. David lee was out there today and joins us outside the stadium. Reporter focus is inside the stadium in a short time, but all the action this afternoon is out here in the parking lot where the tailgating has been going on. You know how hungry fans can get before a game. Well, the fans here, as schu and colin have been saying, are hungry for Something Special on the menu today. And thats revenge after what the seahawks did to the niners back in january. You have to grill some ribs, and hot links to make is a tailgate party. But this is thanksgiving. I heard theres a special thing on the menu this afternoon. Yeah, absolutely. Were going to have sea chicken, baby. Reporter as much as these fans savor a great tailgate feast, theyre licking their chops to see seattle succumb to the niners. Youve been waiting for this since january. We sure have. Reporter its not surprising to see someone deep frying a turkey and how it symbolizes what the niners will do to the seahawks tonight at the game. Theyre tough birds. Weve got a knife. Were going to carve them up tonight. Reporter so loyal are these fans they dont mind having thanksgiving dinner tailgate style. Besides turkey, there are all the usual side dishes. Mashed potatoes, green beans. Reporter someone was grilling broccolini, but assured me its only for decorating platters of meat. It tastes better. You get the real barbecue flavor out of it. Reporter young people got sgoo the act marching around with the recipe to cook the seahawks. 490 degrees for four hours. This being a holiday, levi stadium opened the gates a couple of hours earlier than usual. Theres one couple here with split loyalties, and one of them might be stewing after tonights game. How do you keep peace in the family . I let her cheer when the niners score and i cheer when the seahawks score. Reporter david louie, abc 7 news. All right. Well, ready, set, shop.
