SF49ers: 3 players who will feast on Seahawks weak defense
By Robert Smith
With the Seahawks defense performing at an all-time low, these three SF 49ers players should feast on Seattle this Sunday.
Each week in the NFL presents opportunities for teams to have success against their opponents by finding and exploiting favorable matchups. This is even more critical when you play games against division opponents, where oftentimes the games come down to a single play deciding the outcome.
That is even more pronounced in the NFC West this season, where all four teams currently have winning records.
The SF 49ers, sitting at 4-3 after winning two straight, travel to the northwest this week to take on the 5-1 Seattle Seahawks. Seattle currently leads the division despite losing a 34-31 overtime thriller on the road to the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday.
The Seahawks will look to get back on track at home against the Niners for Week 8.
During this two-game win streak for the SF 49ers, their injury-riddled defense seems to have found its way, yielding just 22 points combined against the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots in Weeks 6 and 7, respectively.
Yet, with a porous Seahawks defense, head coach Kyle Shanahan and Co. will look to exploit some matchups offensively that could propel the team to a third straight victory.
Without further delay, we look at three players who will feast on the Seahawks beleaguered defense in Week 8.
