3 glaring issues 49ers must address prior to playing Seahawks in Week 6

No. 1: Red-zone efficiency

The 49ers' red-zone efficiency is another area that has been blatantly bad this season. Entering Week 6, the Niners are 30th out of 32 teams in the NFL right now in scoring touchdowns in this area of the field.

For a team coming off of a conference championship, that is extremely bad. A big part of the reason for that stat is likely the absence of dual-threat running back Christian McCaffrey due to injury.

However, the 49ers have enough talent at their skill positions to not be in this situation. The Niners will have to find some creative ways to get players like pass catchers Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle and Deebo Samuel Sr. involved consistently in the red zone.

The Niners have a short week to get things right before they head to Seattle for Thursday's primetime bout, and they'll need to address those aforementioned issues if they want to defeat the Seahawks and get their season back on track.
