Given the game dynamics and the underlying play styles of each team, this game is projected by the predictive model to have only 126.2 plays on offense run: the 4th-fewest on the slate this week.Opposing QBs teams have been hesitant to test the pass defense of the San Francisco 49ers, averaging the 5th-fewest attempts in the NFL (just 29.8 per game) this year.When talking about protecting the quarterback (and the effect it has on all passing game stats), the offensive line of the Seahawks grades out as the 3rd-worst in football this year.This year, the imposing San Francisco 49ers defense has surrendered a meager 62.7% Adjusted Completion Rate to opposing wideouts: the 10th-lowest rate in the NFL.The 49ers linebackers rank as the 4th-best collection of LBs in the league this year in defending pass-catchers.
