The Seahawks actually played the 49ers very well in the first half, taking a one-point lead into the locker room. Unfortunately, their long-standing issues defending the run and pressuring the quarterback resurfaced in the second half, which was utterly dominated by San Francisco aside from a garbage time touchdown for DK Metcalf. On offense, a red zone fumble by Geno Smith late in the third quarter seems to have shattered the team’s confidence and with it any hope of a comeback.
