San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro drills a 48-yard field goal to trim the Seattle Seahawks lead to 10-3.

The Seattle Seahawks drew first blood on the San Francisco 49ers with a 27-yard rushing touchdown from Zach Charbonnet in the first quarter.

Seahawks' RB Zach Charbonnet scored his 12th rushing TD of the season to give Seattle an early 7-0 lead over the San Francisco 49ers.

The 49ers defense, which is already thin, may have just lost another key piece, as linebacker Dee Winters suffered an injury against the Seahawks.

Both teams have announced their inactives list. The good news for Seattle is they will get explosive receiver/return man Rashid Shaheed, who exited the Week 17 contest against Carolina with a concussion. Shaheed is a game changer, and to be able to get him back in the lineup will be a huge boost for the Hawks.

The Seahawks fumbled points on their opening drive, forgoing a field goal from the 49ers’ 4-yard line. Seattle compiled a 12-play, 66-yard drive to start the game, but it ended in a way that goes against Mike Macdonald’s typical philosophy.

Darnold and Purdy prepare for a playoff-altering showdown. One quarterback's confidence, the other's strategic edge, fuels this NFC heavyweight clash.
