49ers vs. Seahawks: 3 Matchups to watch in Week 2

Keep an eye on these matchups today as the 49ers look to get back in the win column vs. the Seahawks.

The 49ers probably won most of their matchups with the Chicago Bears in Week 1, at least for their first half. Then things went a little sideways.

As a result, the 49ers head into Week 2 without a win and facing an opponent that has typically had their number in recent times, the Seattle Seahawks. 

Yes, there’s nothing quite like a game with the Seahawks to fray the nerves around Santa Clara. The fact the Seahawks no longer have Russell Wilson should theoretically have calmed everyone down, but Seattle’s narrow Week 1 win over Wilson and the Denver Broncos has led to a decent amount of anxiety in the fanbase going into a game the 49ers are again heavily favored to win.

Still, the 49ers do have more talent than the Seahawks and, as long as they come out on top in these three matchups, everything should be fine. There’s no guarantee, but it should be.
