The San Francisco 49ers were heading in the right direction heading into Sunday’s game with the Seattle Seahawks. The Seahawks were going in reverse, on a losing streak.
Go figure.
The Seahawks got a 13-yard run from Geno Smith with 12 seconds left to down the 49ers, 20-17.

In an NFC West that is defined by parity, both teams are 5-5.
The Niners were expected to be significantly better. The Seahawks were a puzzle.
Smith solved the issues by piecing together an 11-play, 80-yard drive on the way to the game-winning score.
