Kenneth Walker returns this week to face the league’s best run defense. Not only does San Francisco stop the run, but they also give up the fewest points per game. That’s not good for a slumping Seattle Seahawks offense.

This is a different San Francisco offense than the Seattle Seahawks faced in Week 2. Quarterbacks Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo are both out injured. 2022 7th round pick Brock Purdy is the new starter.
Additionally, the Niners are without their best offensive weapon Deebo Samuel who was carted off the field last week. But the added running back Christian McCaffrey in a trade and tight end George Kittle is back.
