The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks wrap up the Thanksgiving tripleheader with an important NFC West matchup. The 49ers lead the Seahawks by a game for the division lead, and this is the first of two matchups over their next three games. The 49ers have won two games in a row after their bye week, while the Seahawks enter having lost two of their last three games.
Seattle is coming off a tough loss against the Los Angeles Rams last week in a game where they lost a nine-point fourth-quarter lead. Quarterback Geno Smith injured his triceps in the game and missed action in the fourth quarter. Smith is listed as questionable for Thursday’s game, but head coach Pete Carroll expects his quarterback will play.
