In a clash of NFC West rivals, the Seattle Seahawks faced off against the San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara, marking their second meeting in just a few weeks. The two teams previously squared off in a Thanksgiving Day showdown.
The odds were stacked against Seattle as they took the field without their starting quarterback, Geno Smith. The odds makers favored the 49ers by double-digits, reflecting the confidence in San Francisco’s ability to secure a victory. And indeed, the 49ers delivered, triumphing over the Seahawks with a final score of 28-16. This win marked the 49ers’ tenth consecutive victory of the season, and they have yet to win a game by less than a touchdown.
The 49ers’ dominance was on full display, both offensively and defensively. Quarterback Brock Purdy put up impressive numbers, throwing for 368 yards and two touchdowns, although he did throw an interception. Running back Christian McCaffrey contributed with 145 rushing yards, while wide receivers Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk combined for 275 receiving yards.
San Francisco’s success was a testament to their well-rounded team, showcasing their prowess in both passing and rushing. Their offense consistently scored over 27 points in all ten of their victories, solidifying their status as a formidable force in the NFL.
With this win, the 49ers now join the ranks of the top teams in the NFC, boasting a stellar 10-3 record. Seattle’s defense had struggled leading up to this game, and it was clear that the 49ers took full advantage of their vulnerabilities. The outcome of the game also highlighted the importance of timing in football betting, as the point spread shifted on game day.
For Seattle, the absence of Geno Smith due to a groin injury raised questions about their quarterback situation. Drew Lock’s performance, despite the two interceptions, showed promise and provided a glimmer of hope for the team’s future if Smith remains sidelined.
In the end, it was a dominant performance by the San Francisco 49ers, solidifying their position as a top contender in the NFC, while Seattle faces uncertainty at the quarterback position as they look ahead to the remainder of the season.
