The San Francisco 49ers offense faces what will likely be its toughest test of the season on Sunday when they travel to play the Seattle Seahawks. They’ll face tough defenses when they play the Arizona Cardinals, Houston Texans (if they rebound from Week 1!), and others, but a road game in Seattle while the Seahawks are mostly healthy will be as tough as it gets.

The Seahawks took a huge downturn when Earl Thomas got hurt last year, but he’s back captaining that defense. There are a lot of strengths to the unit, but Thomas’ absence last year proved how important he is.
