Why This Game Matters
The 49ers, led by quarterback Brock Purdy, running back Christian McCaffrey, and a dominant defense featuring Nick Bosa, enter the season as a Super Bowl favorite. The Seahawks, behind quarterback Geno Smith and explosive wideouts DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, are looking to prove they can keep pace in the division.
Whenever these two teams meet, the intensity is sky-high. The crowd at Lumen Field will make life difficult for San Francisco, but the 49ers’ physical style has often given them the edge. With playoff implications already looming, expect another chapter in one of the NFC’s fiercest rivalries.
