It’s Week 8 of the 2020 NFL season and it’s a big one for the Seattle Seahawks (5-1). Once two games up in the NFC West, last week’s loss to the Arizona Cardinals now means that they’ll lose top spot if they fall to the San Francisco 49ers (4-3), who have surged the past two weeks with impressive wins over the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots. If the Seahawks win, then they’ll not only remain in top spot but have pretty considerable distance over their bitter rivals.
It’s easier to tell you who isn’t playing in this game than who actually is.
