Analysis: Keys to the game as Seahawks go for seventh win of year Sunday against the Richard Sherman-led 49ers

The Seahawks get back to CenturyLink Field Sunday for just their third game at home since Oct. 7.

Here’s a preview of the 1:25 p.m. kickoff against the 49ers.

THE SETUP

Seattle has been a surprise to some this season, if not to themselves, in winning four of the last six and five of the last eight to move into playoff contention at 6-5 (the Seahawks could hold the number five spot in the NFC by the end of the weekend). And Seattle now plays four of the final five at home. The 49ers have been one of the NFL’s disappointments at 2-9, a faceplant that truly began after the loss for the season to a knee injury of promising young quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo.
