49ers vs. Seahawks: 3 things that stood out in the 2nd quarter

One mistake from Jimmy Garoppolo turned the tide of the game and the 49ers hold onto a three point lead at the half. 

The final three minutes of the first half featured several swings, and when the dust settled the 49ers lead 10-7 at intermission. Seattle took momentum with a scoop-and-score from Jadeveon Clowney on a Jimmy Garoppolo fumble that provided the only scoring for the Seahawks. Seattle looked to take the lead, but a huge strip from Jaquiski Tartt ended that hope.

It’s a one-possession game with 30 minutes left. Here’s what stood out in the second quarter:

Warner’s first sack is a big one

Seattle’s offense was threatening to score for the first time with a third-and-4 inside 49ers territory when Fred Warner collected the first sack of his career. Mike Iupati left a hole wide open for Warner to not just bring up a fourth down, but knock Seattle out of field goal range.

Garoppolo’s athletic throw and Bourne’s moves lead to a first down

The 49ers faced a third-and-8 at their own 29-yard-line when Jadeveon Clowney wasted little time getting past Joe Staley to Jimmy Garoppolo. Garoppolo quickly got rid of the ball to Kendrick Bourne four yards short of the marker, but Bourne made a few moves and got the first down to continue the drive. The series would only last three more plays until the 49ers had to punt.

Tartt’s takeaway changes tide

The Seahawks had all the momentum following a defensive touchdown and were driving the ball late in the quarter. Wilson hit DK Metcalfm who turned up field and powered through several would-be tacklers until Jaquiski Tartt stripped the ball prior forcing the turnover at the two-yard-line. The drive ended Seattle’s late push to take the lead before the half, and may have given the 49ers the momentum back.

49ers vs. Seahawks: 3 things that stood out in the 1st quarter

The 49ers dominated the opening 15 minutes opening up with a 10-0 lead. 

The 49ers dominated the first 15 minutes Monday night, opening up a 10-0 lead. The offense held the ball for 10:55 in the first quarter and held Seattle’s offense to just six plays.

Everything looked good to start. Here’s what stood out in the first quarter:

Too close of a call

The first drive appeared to end abruptly when Jimmy Garoppolo was intercepted by Shaquill Griffin, but Jamar Taylor was called for holding while Garoppolo still had the ball to wipe out the pick. The call was huge for the 49ers offense to allow them to hold on to the ball and continue the drive. Garoppolo was shaky on the opening series, completing three-of-seven passes.

Another bail out from Seattle

Three plays after the near interception, Garoppolo and the offense faced  a third-and-6 at the Seattle 45-yard-line when Garoppolo hit Emmanuel Sanders short of the first down marker. It would have given the 49ers an interesting fourth-and-short situation but Trey Flowers was called for pass interference to prolong the drive. The drive resulted in a 43-yard field goal from Chase McLaughlin to give the 49ers an early 3-0.

First defensive drive couldn’t have gone better

The 49ers defense spared little time making an impact against MVP candidate Russell Wilson, forcing Seattle to go three-and-out on their opening drive. The series was shut down on a third-and-2 when DJ Jones blew through center Joey Hunt to get to Wilson before the quarterback had a chance to even think.

The 49ers offense followed Seattle’s opening drive with a seven-play, 83-yard drive that resulted in a touchdown.

Jimmy Garoppolo busts out his own hip-thrusting warmup before MNF and fans had jokes

NFL QB hip warmup videos are now a thing.

So it looks like we have a new thing on our hands, and that thing is videos of NFL quarterbacks working on getting their hips warmed up before games.

This started Sunday night when the NBC SNF broadcast gave the world a great video of Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott doing an explosive hip-thrusting move before the game. Fans quickly had fun putting that to music and the hashtag #DakDancesToAnything was born.

Now we have another QB showing off his hips as 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo was seen doing something that looked like a Hula Hoop motion with the Hula Hoop before Monday night’s game against the Seattle Seahawks:

Warming up hips is nothing new, as this video of Jimmy G from a game against the Rams picked up steam on Twitter on Monday afternoon:

49ers rookie defensive end Nick Bosa even gave it a shot, too:

Donovan McNabb, meanwhile, isn’t happy with jokes about this stuff.

But fans had jokes about Jimmy G’s moves:

Seahawks vs. 49ers: Week 10 inactives for Monday night

Who’s in and who’s out for “Monday Night Football” – the complete Week 10 inactive lists for the Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers.

The Seattle Seahawks are set to square off against the San Francisco 49ers Monday night in their Week 10 contest.

Seattle did not rule out any players ahead of the matchup, nor was anyone listed as doubtful. Only safety Lano Hill (elbow) and guard Phil Haynes (ankle) were noted as questionable to play.

“One thing I can tell you, we can’t talk about hamstrings and ankles today because we’re in pretty good shape here,” coach Pete Carroll said following Saturday’s walkthrough. Only a couple guys on the list. We can cut all that stuff out and just go right to whatever you want to know.”

Here are the inactive players Week 10 for the Seahawks:

And the 49ers inactives:

Kickoff is scheduled for 5:15 p.m PT from Levi’s Stadium. You can watch the national broadcast on ESPN or channel 7 in the Seattle area. Here’s everything you need to know to catch the Monday night action.

Seahawks will not activate Ed Dickson in time for Monday night

The Seattle Seahawks opted not to activate Ed Dickson from the injured reserve ahead of their Monday night game against San Francisco.

The Seattle Seahawks chose not to activate tight end Ed Dickson off the injured reserve before Monday night’s bout with the San Francisco 49ers, delaying his season debut another week.

The Seahawks only have one more week before they will either have to activate Dickson, or cut him loose.

Dickson was placed on the injured reserve just before the start of the season. He was eligible to return against the Buccaneers in Week 9, but the team decided to keep him on the IR while he got his legs back.

That appears to be the plan again this week as well. The Seahawks will go with the trio of Luke Willson, Jacob Hollister, and George Fant against the 49ers.

Dickson missed the first half of last season as well, before returning to haul in 12 receptions for 143 yards and three touchdowns in the second half.

That kind of production would be great for a Seattle team that lost Will Dissly to season-ending surgery for the second year in a row.

However, Seattle will have to wait another week to see Dickson in action.

Seahawks at 49ers: Odds, betting lines and prediction

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Friday at 2 p.m. ET.

Prediction

Seahawks 23, 49ers 21

Moneyline (?)

The Seahawks are one of the best teams in the league and this is a game ripe for an upset. As good as the 49ers have been this year, they showed a few flaws against Arizona last week against dual-threat quarterback Kyler Murray.

Russell Wilson is having an MVP season and will lift the Seahawks to victory. Bet SEATTLE to win straight up with the moneyline (+220).

Against the Spread (?)

If we’re picking the Seahawks to win straight up, you bet we’re taking them with the points, too. Seattle is a 6.5-point underdog in Week 10, which is a huge spread for a divisional matchup – even if San Francisco is at home.

Happily take the points and take the SEAHAWKS (-110) to cover the 6.5-point margin. They’re 13-3 ATS in their last 16 against the 49ers.

Over/Under (?)

The Over/Under is a tough pick this week, since the total is just 46.5 points. The Seahawks offense can go on a tear at any moment thanks to Wilson, but San Francisco’s defense is dominant.

This should be a fairly low-scoring affair with both teams managing the clock. Bet the UNDER (-110) Monday night.

3 things to watch: Seattle Seahawks at San Francisco 49ers

The Seattle Seahawks have a chance to hand the San Francisco 49ers their first loss of the 2019 season on Monday night.

The Seattle Seahawks will play the biggest game of the 2019 season, at least so far, on Monday night when they take on the undefeated San Francisco 49ers in Santa Clara.

The game has massive playoff implications for both teams, and will help reignite the rivalry between the two NFC west foes.

That alone is enough to make this one of the most compelling games of the entire NFL season, but for Seahawks fans, there are even more reasons to watch tonight.

The team could potentially debut both receiver Josh Gordon and defensive back Quandre Diggs, giving fans their first chance to see them in their new uniforms.

Russell Wilson’s quest for an MVP award continues tonight as well, another storyline that has everyone’s attention at this point in the season.

Here are some more notes on what to watch for in tonight’s NFC west showdown.

Seahawks have yet to make a decision on tight end Ed Dickson

The Seattle Seahawks have not decided if veteran tight end Ed Dickson will be activated off the injured reserve in time for Monday’s game.

The Seattle Seahawks are just a few hours away from taking on the undefeated San Francisco 49ers on Monday night football.

In typical Pete Carroll fashion, he is keeping his roster decisions as close to the chest as possible, which includes the potential activation of tight end Ed Dickson off the injured reserve.

“You have to wait and see on that one,” Carroll said on Saturday. “I’m not calling that one yet.”

Dickson was placed on the injured reserve in Week 1, so he is now eligible to return for Seattle. However, the team opted to keep him out last week while he got his legs under him in practice.

Now, with two full weeks of practice under his belt, it appears Dickson is ready to help this team on the field.

However, Seattle has not made room for him on their active roster just yet. The team will need to release someone, likely either receiver John Ursua or backup tight end Jacob Hollister, in order to clear a spot for him.

It seems they are waiting until the last possible moment, perhaps hoping they’ll be able to squeeze whomever they release through waivers and re-sign them to their practice squad.

Regardless, Dickson’s veteran experience and strong run-blocking will be a big boost for the Seahawks, whenever they feel he is ready to contribute on the field.

Even Josh Gordon was surprised to learn Patriots would waive him

“Your time can be short lived anywhere.”

Josh Gordon was just as surprised as NFL fans to learn he’d no longer be a New England Patriot. The Seattle Seahawks receiver addressed his surprising exit from New England.

“But we all know it’s a business,” he said Saturday, via The Seattle Times’ Bob Condotta. “Your time can be short lived anywhere. You never know what could happen day to day in the NFL. But that was the decision they made, and I’m glad to be here now, though.”

Gordon joined the Patriots in a trade with the Cleveland Browns during the beginning of the 2018 season. But New England ultimately decided to place him on injured reserve and then on waivers during the 2019 season. The Seahawks claimed him, and Gordon is expected to be active for Monday Night Football.

Gordon played in 17 games for the Patriots in his two seasons, but spent time serving a suspension for violating the NFL’s drug policy. That indefinite suspension has caused him to miss significant time over the past five seasons. This season, he had 20 receptions for 287 yards and a touchdown.

Gordon joins a group of Seahawks wideouts, with Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf. Gordon also moves from one MVP candidate, Tom Brady, to the next, Russell Wilson. New England, meanwhile, has receivers Julian Edelman, Mohamed Sanu, N’Keal Harry, Phillip Dorsett, Jakobi Meyers and Gunner Olszewski.

NFC playoff picture: Where the Eagles stand after Cowboys loss on Sunday night

NFC Playoff picture and where the Eagles stand after Cowboys loss

[jwplayer YHRlNYBP]

The Philadelphia Eagles have finished up a much-needed bye week as the team sits at 5-4, with the New England Patriots visiting the Linc this week.

[lawrence-related id=625787,625782,625774]

Things seemed cloudy on Sunday with the San Francisco 49ers, New Orleans Saints, Minnesota Vikings, Seattle Seahawks, and Green Bay Packers all playing so well. It was assumed that the NFC East might only get one team into the playoffs with Philadelphia or Dallas representing the division in the postseason.

After Sunday’s wild and crazy action, culminating with the Cowboys’ huge loss at home to the Vikings, the NFC is now wide open.

Here are your current NFC standings:

National Football Conference

San Francisco 49ers 8-0
Green Bay Packers 8-2
New Orleans Saints 8-2
Seattle Seahawks 7-2
Minnesota Vikings 7-3
Dallas Cowboys 5-4
LA Rams 5-4
Philadelphia Eagles 5-4
Carolina Panthers 5-4
Chicago Bears 4-5
Detroit Lions 3-5-1

Even with the Eagles Week 10 bye,  six of the eight teams currently ahead of them in the playoff picture all did battle with one another on Sunday, with the Panthers losing to the Packers, the Cowboys losing to the Vikings at home, and the 49ers hosting the Seahawks on Monday Night Football.

The Eagles will host the Patriots this week and Seahawks and the Seahawks next Sunday, before playing four of their remaining five games against teams that are a combined 4-22. After the two home matchups, the Eagles will travel to Miami to face the Dolphins, then they’ll host the Giants, travel to Washington, host Dallas and then finish the regular season on the road at MetLife Stadium against the Giants.

After the crushing loss to the Vikings, Dallas will face the Lions, Patriots, Bills, Eagles, and Rams over the next five weeks in a scenario that will make the Week 16 showdown in Philadelphia for the NFC East title.
