The San Francisco 49ers’ main rival in recent years has been the Seattle Seahawks. And with good reason.
When the 49ers are able to beat the Seahawks, they’re usually playoff bound. When the Niners lose to the Seahawks, the 49ers’ players watch January football at home from the comfort of their couches.
The San Francisco 49ers have lost their last seven games against the Seahawks. This is a trend that will have to change before the team can be considered a viable playoff candidate.
The 49ers front office hopes the hiring of head coach Kyle Shanahan bucks the team’s recent losing trend to their NFC West rivals.
