The Seahawks third possession went the same as their first two. Well, worse, actually. Ambry Thomas made a remarkable interception after he jumped a Tyler Lockett route. Unfortunately, the 49ers couldn’t capitalize on the short field.
The defense didn’t let up, though. It appeared as if DK Metcalf caught a long pass, but his second foot landed out of bounds. San Francisco forced a fourth consecutive punt.
And the offense would have another short field to work with. The question was whether they’d make the most of it. George Kittle picked up a critical first down.
