49ers vs. Seahawks: 5 players to watch in Week 17 NFC West showdown
No. 4: Raheem Mostert vs. Bobby Wagner
In the red corner, we have running back Raheem Mostert. The 49ers running back is in career-best form and has been responsible for a lot of touchdowns and chunk plays in the last few weeks.
In the blue corner, we have linebacker Bobby Wagner. Wagner is simply one of the top linebackers in the NFL, period.
Similar to the aforementioned Lynch-versus-Warner matchup, the Seahawks will look to stifle the 49ers run game and that will run through Wagner.
While the Niners use a rotation system, unlike the Seahawks, Mostert is the player who is in scoring form with six touchdowns scored from his last five games.
The 49ers will look to establish Mostert as a threat, while the Seahawks defense will have to shut him down.
