49ers Vs. Seahawks: Seattle Eliminated From Playoff Contention In 19-17 Loss

Following a blocked punt by the Seahawks that set them up at the 4-yard line, Lynch took the ball on the first play, went around the left end and fought his way into the end zone. It was the first rushing touchdown the 49ers had allowed all year and gave Lynch a franchise-record 11th straight game with a touchdown.

Lynch was already having a pretty solid game up until that point. The Seahawks running back has racked up 98 yards rushing in the game and has now scored a rushing touchdown in four straight games and rushed for at least one touchdown in 10 of 11 games. He has scored 13 touchdowns during his touchdown streak.

The 49ers have four more wins than the Seahawks this season, but Sports Illustrated’s Peter King suggests that the result will be 17-10 in favor of the Seattle hosts.

The only ESPN experts that picked Seattle to win were Mike Golic and Seth Wickersham while Les Carpenter went out on a limb to pick Seattle for Yahoo! Sports. It seems like King is in the minority, but the Seahawks have a shot.

Baldwin has been a bit inconsistent times in his rookie season, but he has shown some serious upside. He is coming off a one catch game against Chicago, but for the season he leads the Seahawks with 46 receptions, 731 yards and 3 touchdowns. The Seahawks have dealt with numerous injuries at wide receiver and questionable quarterback play, but he has still managed solid numbers.

The Seahawks face a 49ers defense that is dominant against the run, but can give up a decent amount of passing yards. They lock down in the red zone, but give up a lot of yards between the 20s, which could benefit Baldwin if he is able to play on Saturday.
