If you told me a month and half ago that the San Francisco 49ers (2-4) would have the same record as the Seattle Seahawks (2-4) through the first six games, I probably would have signed up for it. What I wouldn’t have expected, was that both teams would be in the basement of the NFC West. That is indeed the reality of the situation though, as the bitter rivals head into their first clash of the season on Thursday night.
Both teams seem to be headed in different directions at the moment, and the 49ers might just be getting their feet underneath them (at least offensively) following a rough stretch early on.
