The youngest head coach in the NFL, Mike Macdonald, has the Seattle Seahawks at 3-2 and atop the NFC West. Last year’s NFC Super Bowl representatives, the San Francisco 49ers, sit at 2-3, a game behind them. You can’t fault the NFL for surprising storylines, it’s kind of their thing.
Both teams fell flat in Week 5: Seattle laid a dud at home to the New York Giants, and the 49ers’ second-half goose egg allowed a 13-point halftime lead to evaporate vs. the Arizona Cardinals. These NFC West clubs are desperate for a win, and there’s no margin for error in a tight divisional race.
It’s time to examine who’s in the inactive category for the 49ers vs. Seahawks and what the projected starting lineups look like.
