When the 49ers shutout the Seahawks’ offense in Week 2 it looked like a case of a dominant defense wrecking an inferior offense. Seattle was coming off a game where the scored 17 points amassed just 253 yards of total offense. The games since Week 2 in Santa Clara though have painted a different picture that makes the 49ers’ defensive performance against Seattle more impressive.
San Francisco beat the Seahawks 27-7 at Levi’s Stadium, and the visiting team’s only score came on a blocked field goal returned for a touchdown late in the third quarter. They had 216 yards of total offense, turned it over three times, and went two-for-seven on third downs.
