The San Francisco 49ers got some disappointing news when the officiating crew was announced for their game vs the Seattle Seahawks.

For everything that's gone right for the Seattle Seahawks during a season in which they've become one of the NFL's top teams, their rushing attack has been an Achilles’ heel much of the year. That has started to change over the last two games,

Sam Darnold found AJ Barner for a 17-yard touchdown and now the Seahawks lead the Panthers 17-3 with 5:32 left in the third quarter. Back to back turnovers from DeMarcus Lawrence and Julian Love have fueled Seattle's sudden burst of momentum.

Since week 11, the 49ers’ offense is second in epa per play and third in success rate. During that same stretch, the Seahawks are 21st in EPA per play and 10th in success rate. Sam Darnold isn’t generating the big play and is being forced to win on a down-by-down basis. It’s not happening, which is why the totals have been low.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is preparing for a big game, and he had an epic admission about a viral lookalike at the Panthers game.

The Seattle Seahawks would love to have left tackle Charles Cross available versus the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18, but there's no guarantee.

Receiver and Pro-Bowl returner Rashid Shaheed, who exited last week's game with a concussion, has been cleared to play in the Seahawks' Week 18 game against the 49ers.

Woolen has improved, returned to prominence since Niners got him in week 1. Barner is emerging as a problem. Darnold says he's learned.
