Earlier this season, the SF 49ers stood a chance to score a lot of points against the Seahawks. But that won’t be the case in Week 17.

The SF 49ers were overwhelmed by the Seattle Seahawks defense when these two teams played last in Week 8, which was quite the shock considering Seattle’s defense was largely looked at as a laughingstock by most of the league over the first half of the season.

Only some garbage-time scores by the Niners made that eventual 37-27 outcome more interesting than the game actually was.
