Remember when San Francisco lost three straight games? That was weird, and is well behind them, as a 31-13 win in Seattle gave the Niners a third consecutive victory. Considering what Seattle's offense normally does, let's begin with how impressive San Francisco's defense has been. They allow the fewest points per game this season, 15.5. The 49ers allow 4.8 yards per play (5th), 6.2 yards per pass attempt (2nd), 82.0 rushing yards per game (2nd), and have 21 takeaways (2nd). Their 33 sacks are 11th in the NFL. Only three teams have crossed the 20-point mark against San Francisco, and two of those instances were during the losing streak.
Now onto the offense, which is third in points per game. They average 28.2 a week, and the only three instances of San Francisco not scoring at least 25 came during the losing streak. The 49ers average 6.4 yards per play , the second-most in the NFL. They're also tied for the third-fewest giveaways and have allowed the fourth-fewest sacks. No team picks up more yards per pass attempt, while Christian McCaffrey is one of the league's greatest threats on the ground. Good luck stopping this team.
