We’re about 48 hours from kickoff as the 49ers look to beat the Seahawks for the third time this season. We know the stars will come to play. Here are two X-Factors for Saturday’s game.
Offense:
Christian McCaffrey/Elijah Mitchell/Jordan Mason
The playoffs and the rainy forecast will call for the 49ers rushing attack to do the heavy lifting. In Week 15, the 49ers ran the ball 30 times between McCaffrey and Mason. Brock Purdy was injured with an oblique injury, but the plan was clear in hostile territory: control the clock and leave with a win.
