The 49ers (0-0) and the Seahawks (0-0) square off Sunday in Seattle in a Week 1 NFC West matchup.
The big news re: this game is without question the availability of Christian McCaffrey (calf). If the All Pro is unavailable, the Niners’ offense already beset by injuries to other offensive pieces will be far less dynamic and dangerous. The San Francisco defense is healthy but will need help from the offense if the 49ers are to leave Lumen Field victorious.
The Seahawks enter the season with a new quarterback, Sam Darnold , and a new wideout to pair with Jaxon Smith-Njigba in Cooper Kupp . The defense remains one of the fastest in the league but will be tested should Riq Woolen (illness) not dress.
Lets take a deeper dive into this week’s matchup between the 49ers and the Seahawk
