San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks
But the running game never got rolling consistently as the Seahawks put up 115 yards rushing as a team.

“We’re evaluating the rigor of the week and is he going to be at his best for game day”. Lynch, Seattle’s top back, was ruled inactive for the game with an abdominal injury. While athleticism, arm strength and running ability are nice, most general managers prefer guys who can make things happen without having to run out of the pocket. He had two 100-yard games earlier this season, including 169 yards rushing against Cincinnati. After watching every game and listening to every press conference, I can not see why Tomsula is a head coach. “It was straight man-to-man and I had a go route, so I just had to take advantage of it. … I’m looking for contact”.
Along with the slow start, San Francisco’s defense had no answer for Rawls, who had the second-best rushing day in Seahawks history. Gabbert was 22 of 34 for 264 yards.
Defensive tackle Glenn Dorsey came out of the game with a knee injury, which meant rookie end Arik Armstead received an increase in playing time.
“I’m not into moral victories but that was encouraging”, San Francisco coach Jim Tomsula said. When Rawls wasn’t running over and through the 49ers, quarterback Russell Wilson had no trouble picking apart San Francisco with the passing game.
Wilson threw 24 yards to Tyler Lockett to end the Seahawks’ first drive of the game.
Lockett doubled his career touchdown numbers before halftime. While last week’s loss to Arizona seemed to doom their divisional chances, Sunday’s win lifted them to 5-5 and revived their long-term prognosis.
Draughn’s fumble came on the second play of the game in Seattle and although he recovered, the Seahawks went on to a 13-0 first quarter lead. The Seattle Seahawks did just fine without Lynch, beating the Niners 29-13 behind 255 total yards from backup Thomas Rawls.
“We’ll deal with that when the time comes”, Carroll said. “It’s just things you need to recognize sometimes, but we’ll get it cleaned up”.
That had nothing to do with San Francisco’s feint at a second-half rally or the worries of another fourth-quarter fade in Seattle. After forcing Seattle to punt for the first time, the 49ers took the ball at their own 8-yard line with about 1 1/2 minutes left and drove 92 yards for their first score. He completed 6 of 7 passes for 78 yards and a 19-yard touchdown to Vance McDonald with 9 seconds left in the half to get within 20-7.

San Francisco cut the lead to 10 at the start of the third quarter as Gabbert and McDonald moved the ball again, setting up Phil Dawson for a field goal, but Steven Hauschka soon responded down the other end for Seattle. And the Seahawks are still awful in red zone efficiency scoring touchdowns only 35% of the time. They’ve let go of any hope that Colin Kaepernick is their guy and got desperate enough to turn to Blaine Gabbert who was bounced around the league after his bad stint with the Jacksonville Jaguars. We only had a couple penalties, and last week we had so many penalties, it makes it very hard football, against a very good football team last week. Steven Hauschka missed the extra point off the outside of the right upright, his first true miss in 40 points-after-touchdown.
