THE Seattle Seahawks face a critical game in the NFC West on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. The Week 11 date is the last scheduled meeting against the 49ers this season after the Bay Area-based team beat the Seahawks 36-24 in Week 6. Starting quarterback Geno Smith is 0- 5 in his career against the division rival. Smith looks forward to putting those struggles behind him on Sunday.
“It’s very personal, man,” Smith said when asked about his loss to the 49ers on Sunday. “When you think about division opponents, these are the games that matter the most. Especially with the 49ers. They’ve been at the top of our division for a while. If we want to be the type of team we say we are, we have “To go through teams like this, I know I’m going to step on the field with that chip on my shoulder, that edge that I always have,” Smith concluded.
The 4-5 Seahawks are at the bottom of the NFC West. The 5-4 49ers trail the surprising 6-4 Arizona Cardinals. Smith struggled in the first meeting against the 49ers, completing 30 of 52 pass attempts for 312 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Running back Kenneth Walker III was held to 32 rushing yards and DK Metcalf had just 48 receiving yards. Smith will look forward to leading a much more successful offense on Sunday.
