This week's Thursday Night Football features an NFC West showdown with first place on the line as the San Francisco 49ers (2-3) head to Lumen Field to face the Seattle Seahawks (3-2).
The 49ers, playing without 2023 Offensive Player of the Year Christian McCaffrey, are struggling to maintain their grip on the NFC after losing two of their last three games, both to teams with losing records. Two weeks ago, San Francisco was stunned by a late comeback from the Los Angeles Rams, dropping them to 1-2. After bouncing back with a home win against New England, they suffered another upset, this time to the Arizona Cardinals, losing 24-23.
San Francisco led 23-10 at halftime but were held scoreless in the second half as the Cardinals surged back to secure the victory. The 49ers are now 0-2 within the division, after losing just two divisional games in the last two seasons, both of which ended in NFC West titles.
Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks return home on a short week, eager to snap a two-game skid. The Seahawks began the season strong, winning their first three games, but fell 42-29 to the Detroit Lions on the road. Last week, they followed that with a disappointing 29-20 loss to the visiting New York Giants. The game was tied 10-10 at halftime, but the Seahawks were outscored 19-10 in the second half. The contest was decided when Jason Myers had his game-tying field goal blocked and returned for a 60-yard touchdown with just 50 seconds remaining.
