With a sound 20-7 victory over the Los Angeles Rams, the San Francisco 49ers have cemented themselves as the team to beat in the NFC West but nipping at their heels are this years’ identity-confused but scrappy Seattle Seahawks. After the Seahawks defeated the Cleveland Browns this weekend, both teams have at least a two-game lead over the Rams. Seattle and San Francisco are fully in the drivers seat of the division as we approach the midway point of the season, two short weeks from now.
It’s been five seasons since both teams were ahead of Los Angeles at the same time, and six since they were both good.
