49ers’ rally keeps Seahawks in second place, but schedule about to turn daunting for San Francisco

After a week when just about everything went the way of the Seahawks, the NFL football gods turned against them just a bit while they were off Sunday.

Down 16-0 midway through the second quarter, the 49ers rallied for a 36-26 win over Arizona to keep their lead in the NFC West at 9-1 and keep the 8-2 Seahawks as the No. 5 seed in the playoffs if the season ended today. Had the 49ers lost, Seattle would have officially moved into first place in the NFC West due to currently holding the head-to-head tiebreaker.

But the season, of course, does not end today, and while Seattle remains in second place in the NFC West, the Seahawks also still control their destiny.
