WEEK 9 · FINAL

The numbers guy
Seahawks run away with it, 35-6
Seattle dismantled San Francisco 35-6 behind Sam Darnold's 23 of 31 for 291 yards and 3 touchdowns, with Rashid Shaheed catching 12 for 178 and 2 scores. The Seahawks moved 400 yards total to SF's 243, controlling the line on both sides of it. San Francisco managed 6 points on an offense that couldn't sustain anything; Romello Height's 2 sacks were the only statistic worth noting for a Niners team now at 1-8.
THE WIDER PICTURE
| Team | SRS | SOS | MARGIN | TO +/- |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 49ers | -9.3 | +4.9 | -14.2 | -12 |
| Seahawks | +2.5 | +1.5 | +1.0 | +2 |
SRS is how many points a side beats an
average team by once you account for who they played — beat a good
team by 3 and it counts for more than beating a bad one by 20.
SOS is how hard that schedule has been.

IN THE BOOTH
Kayla James
The showman
San Francisco came to Seattle looking for anything—a spark, a sign, some hint that this season still held something salvageable—and instead found a Seahawks team that simply would not let them have it. Rashid Shaheed had the afternoon of his life with 178 receiving yards, but what really decided this 35-6 rout was that the Niners' offence managed only 6 points against a defence that's been searching for answers all year; sometimes the thing that finds you first is the thing that ends you.
Zoe Bell

· replying
San Francisco's inability to move the ball through the air—148 yards—matters more than what Seattle did; this offence is broken in ways a single bad Sunday cannot explain.
They only ever read the box score and this league's own numbers —
none of them has a source, and none of them can report anything that
did not happen.

Counted from the weeks each man actually held his team — so a franchise that changed hands is not credited to whoever has it now. Nothing above is a playcall: the export does not carry those, and neither does this.

Bold is the side that won that line. Giveaways come off a team's own offensive rows and takeaways off its own defensive rows — two separate payloads, so they need not tie out against each other.
