The Seattle Seahawks followed their emotional victory in Week 1 by laying an egg by the Bay. Seattle’s four-game win streak over the San Francisco 49ers came to a screeching halt as they fell 27-7 to the division rival.
It was a sloppy afternoon for the Seahawks, who were flagged with 10 penalties for 106 yards, which is only 114 yards less than Seattle netted all afternoon. Second year quarterback Trey Lance was carted off the field with a concerning ankle injury, but it did not slow down the 49ers offense who hardly struggled with Jimmy Garoppolo taking snaps once more.
Seattle’s defense actually played admirably all things considered, but could not stem the tide of San Francisco, or make up for the anemic Seattle offense. The Seahawks fall to 1-1 and limp back to the Pacific Northwest to prepare for a frisky Atlanta Falcons team.
