Seattle station reports Vikings beat 49ers, hopes Seahawks can host NFC Championship

A big mistake.



Q13 Fox News in Seattle reported tonight that it was the Minnesota Vikings, not the 49ers, who won at Levi's Stadium, setting up a potential NFC Championship Game at CenturyLink Field.

"The Vikings win sets up Seattle as the possible hosts of the NFC Championship Game, but only if the Seahawks beat the Packers tomorrow," the anchor continued. "So we will see. We're keeping our fingers crossed. Go Hawks."



All of this was said as 49ers scoring highlights are shown during the report.



No, this is not news from a parallel dimension. It also isn't a delusional fanbase refusing to acknowledge a San Francisco 49ers win. This is just a mistake from a Seattle news station.A big mistake.Q13 Fox News in Seattle reported tonight that it was the Minnesota Vikings, not the 49ers, who won at Levi's Stadium, setting up a potential NFC Championship Game at CenturyLink Field."So, whoever wins tomorrow (between the Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers) will play the Minnesota Vikings next," said the misinformed anchor.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan joined KNBR on Friday morning and shared some injury updates. All eyes during practices this week have been on the statuses of wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk. Aiyuk (hamstring) got back on the practice field on Thursday, but Samuel remained sidelined as he recovers from a Jones fracture in June.
