Last time out: Seahawks 43, 49ers 16

Record: 2-10 overall, 0-4 in division

Snapshot: The 49ers fell behind 27-3 early in the third quarter and never threatened. San Francisco racked up 452 total yards but turned the ball over three times. Quarterback Nick Mullens was 30-of-48 for 414 yards with two touchdowns and an interception.

Notable: Wide receiver Dante Pettis had seven catches for 129 yards and two touchdowns in the loss. Defensive end DeForest Buckner had a pair of sacks but didn't get much help.

Quotable: "It's a little smaller. They didn't leave a lot of space over there for the visitors. Other than that, it feels the same. Standing on the other side didn't really feel any different for me." – 49ers cornerback Richard Sherman, via the Seattle Times, on being in the opposing locker room after a great run with the Seahawks

Key Stat: 5.8. The yards-per-carry average allowed by the San Francisco defense as Seattle dominated on the ground.

Notable: Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner had a monster game, finishing with 12 tackles, a sack, a forced fumble, a fumble recovery and a 98-yard interception return for a touchdown. Seattle is currently in line to make the NFC playoffs as a wild card.
