The (1-1) San Francisco 49ers are coming off one of their worst losses in 15 years after they were destroyed by the Carolina Panthers 47-26 in week two. This after they played a great first half against the NFC Champions, going into the break trailing 17-10, but Cam Newton was too explosive in the second half for the defense to contain.

This week the 49ers look to get back on track against the Slumping Seattle Seahawks. Despite a 1-1 record, the Seahawks have been arguably one of the worst teams in the NFL, scoring just 13 points in their first two games. More surprisingly, Seattle struggled against the same Rams team the San Francisco shut out in week one, with a 9-3 loss.

The biggest problem for Seattle has been the offensive line. After trading their star center last year for Jimmy Graham, the Seahawks line has been one of the worst in the league. Mobile quarterback, Russell Wilson has struggled because of it, throwing for 479 yards in the first two games.

Now San Francisco’s defensive has been phenomenal for six quarters this year. Minus the second half against the Panthers, the 49ers defense has been one of the league’s best. With a defensive line that has been dominating and a secondary that has been blocking up passes, San Francisco has a chance to do something that most would’ve thought to be impossible at the beginning of the season and getting a win in Seattle.

If the defense it up to the task of holding a pissed off Seahawks offense to nothing, San Francisco should be able to do enough to steal a win and stay tied for the top spot in the NFC West.
