The SF 49ers were in prime position to pull off an upset over the Seahawks in Week 17, but Russell Wilson did more Wilson-like things.

The SF 49ers know this storyline all too well.

They’ll be up over their NFC West division rivals, the Seattle Seahawks, in the fourth quarter needing a defensive stand to retain the lead and secure the win. The only problem, however, is Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is going to add to the 23 fourth-quarter comebacks he already had entering the Week 17 bout to close out both teams’ regular-season campaigns.
