As kicker Robbie Gould banged through his fourth field goal of the game, this one for the OT win over the NFC West rival Seahawks, a thought started to run through my head: was this win really worth it?
Although I live in Seattle, my disdain for the Seahawks runs deep, especially as the Pete Carroll and Russell Wilson team have buried the 49ers in recent history. A late-season 49ers’ victory to drop the Seahawks to 8-6 and put them in jeopardy of losing a playoff spot seems exciting in the moment, but I may not have the same sentiment in April when the 49ers are jockeying for top draft position.
