It’s an old, miserable story — a close, hard fought game against Seattle. Maybe the Niners are leading, or tied. Late in the 4th quarter, Russell Wilson leads a drive to win the game.
Well, not this time. San Francisco’s rapidly improving defense made several key plays, but no series was more crucial than the one that ended in a field goal for Seattle’s final points.
After the 49ers took a three point lead with 9:51 left in the 4th, Seattle drove from their own 25 to the San Francisco 31 in just over two minutes, entirely on the strength of a shaky roughing the passer call, and a 26-yard pass to Doug Baldwin on 3rd and 7.
