The Seahawks and 49ers clash as both teams look to make an early-season statement at Lumen Field.
The Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers do battle in Week 5 at Lumen Field as the two NFC West heavyweights clash for the first time since last year's playoffs.
The Seahawks sit at 3-1 while the 49ers under Kyle Shanahan are 4-0 and have looked like one of the best teams in football during the opening month, so this looms as a monster clash not only for the division, but the NFC as a whole.
Seattle has been a little up and down as the defending Super Bowl champs have had to deal with injuries to key players, but Mike Macdonald's team has done a good job of navigating them thus far.
But this 49ers team is looming large in the Super Bowl conversation.
They are the second-highest-scoring offense (30 points per game) and have the third-best defense in football, allowing just 16 points per game.
So, Macdonald's "Dark Side" defense - which on Saturday signed up from the practice squad former Cowboys star cornerback Trevon Diggs - will have a tough task, as will Brian Fleury's offense in this one, as the 49ers roll into Lumen Field in sublime form.
But we have seen the Seahawks take care of the New England Patriots in Week 1, and then beat the Arizona Cardinals. Plus, that first half against the Los Angeles Chargers was typical Seahawks football, and at one point, Seattle led 27-6 before L.A. mounted a comeback.
Exactly what Seattle gets on Sunday is a fascinating thought. Let's not forget that the Washington Commanders put up 33 points against the Seahawks, so they're beatable.
But the performance against the Chargers showed us what this team can really do when it is firing on all cylinders.
And against the 49ers, Macdonald's side will need all of that to hand San Francisco its first loss of the season, and make no mistake about it, has all the weapons to do it as well.
It's just a matter of if the Seahawks can put it all together for four quarters on Sunday.
