The Seattle Seahawks and San Francisco 49ers are playing on the NFL Thanksgiving Day schedule for Week 13 of the season and the matchup is on TV starting at 8:30pm ET and will be on the NBC channel from Levi's Stadium as Russell Wilson and Colin Kaepernick matchup and it will be streaming live from the NBC Sports Network Live Extra website.
The Seahawks come into the game after a win against the Cardinals and they will next play against the Philadelphia Eagles after this game against the Niners. The Seahawks and Niners are both 7-4 this season and the Cardinals are leading the division and they are in position to win it right now if things hold. The Seahawks are ranked 30th in the league with 189 passing yards per game, but they are doing everything else very well.
The Seahawks come in ranked first in the league with nearly 170 rushing yards per game, while the defense is ranked in the top 10 in yards allowed. The team is ranked third in the league in passing yards allowed per game, while the front is sixth in rushing yards per game allowed with 88 yards per contest. Wilson comes in after passing for 211 yards last week and putting up 73 rushing yards and he will be key in this NFC West divisional matchup.
The Seahawks have won four of the last five games after losing two in a row to Dallas and St. Louis and after losing to the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago, they rebounded against the Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks have a very tough stretch to finish the season, as they play three of the next four games on the road and that includes two divisional away games. The team has the 49ers in San Francisco and they will then play against the Philadelphia Eagles on the road. The Seahawks host the Niners for the second matchup in three weeks and they end the schedule with the Cardinals and Rams.
Wilson has 14 TDs this season and has passed for over 2200 yards, while Colin Kaepernick has 15 passing touchdowns and 2600 yards passing this season. Doug Baldwin has been the leading receiver for the Seahawks, while Anquan Boldin has 65 catches for 825 yards and four scores this season. The two teams last played in the NFC title game last season and they now matchup in San Francisco before the return matchup in Seattle in a couple weeks.
