Every week I try and do one piece to highlight the work in the trenches by this 49ers team. The difference between a good team and a contender is the ability to win at the line of scrimmage. So this week I highlighted the defensive line for their game-changing work up front, which was a significant reason for the 49ers' victory in this one.
I’m going to start with what I believe was the game's most crucial play on either side of the ball. With 2:31 remaining in the third quarter, Seattle faced a 3rd & long inside the 49ers' 20-yard line.
