Seattle Seahawks 19 - San Francisco 49ers 3 11/27/14

Victory is delicious for the Seattle Seahawks. Following their dominant 19-3 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, it was the Madden Players of the Game, QB Russell Wilson and CB Richard Sherman, that ate the turducken legs on the midfield logo of the 49ers field. The Seahawks played a terrific game on both sides of the ball, especially on the defensive end. The leader of the Legion of Boom, Richard Sherman, was flawless tonight. The ball was thrown in his direction five times, but none of them were completed and he intercepted 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick twice. On special teams, the Seahawks avoided disaster after muffing the snap on the punt, but Perrish Cox, the 49ers punt returner, muffed the punt and the Seahawks pounced on it. This was one of many mistakes by the 49ers that the Seahawks cashed in for some kind of points. Kicker Steven Hauschka was perfect as he converted all four of his field goals from 20, 36, 35, and 46 yards out, which put up 12 of Seattle's 19 points. QB Russell Wilson played an excellent game as he completed 15 of 22 passes for 236 yards and a touchdown, which was a 13-yard pass to Ronnie Turbin in the first quarter to give them the lead. The passing attack was very balanced as eight different Seahawk players caught passes, including a 63-yard catch-and-run play to TE Tony Moeaki and a 24-yard pass to WR Doug Baldwin. After they built a sufficient lead, the Seahawks let RB Marshawn Lynch take over and they did not look back. Lynch carried the ball 20 times for 102 yards and moved the chains very well with his physical running. San Francisco struggled mightily all game offensively whether it was running or passing. QB Colin Kaepernick was absolutely horrendous as he only completed 16 of 29 passes for 121 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. The 49ers could never generate any opportunities through the air due to Kaepernick's inaccuracy and the tight coverage of the members of the Legion of Boom, Seattle's top-notch secondary. The ground game for the 49ers was just as bad as they only produced 64 rushing yards on 18 carries by Frank Gore, Carlos Hyde, and Kaepernick. With the victory, the Seahawks improve to 8-4, while the 49ers fall to 7-5. The potential is still high for both teams, and they meet again in seventeen days in Seattle.
