With the San Francisco 49ers taking on their division rival Seattle Seahawks, this game is most likely for the NFC West divisional crown. As we have the best defense in the NFL in the 49ers and one of the best stories this year in the Seahawks, each team is battling for a playoff spot, as this is one of the better matchups of the week. Let’s go through each half of football and give my overall thoughts on the game.
In the first quarter the 49ers got it rolling with a good defensive stop, and a quick score on offense to tight end George Kittle, the Seahawks really struggled in the first one and a half quarters to score as this 49ers defense was shutting down all parts of the Seahawks offense. The rest of the second half was also all about the 49ers as they jumped out to an early 14-3 lead making the Seahawks pass the ball in ditch the running game early.
Coming into the second half the Seahawks really had to do some soul searching as they were down by double digits, and this 49ers defensive line was really getting pressure on Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith all day long. This 49ers offense really was humming as George Kittle had a big day with two touchdowns and 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey had a 100 yard game with a touchdown to go with it.
Overall, my prediction was close for this game as I did pick the 49ers to win by two scores. The 49ers officially win the NFC West crown and clinch a playoff berth as they advance to 10-4 as the Seattle Seahawks drop to 7-7 on the year and are still fighting for a playoff spot.
