The Seahawks got whooped by the 49ers last night, despite what the eight-point difference might suggest. Their offense never really got off the ground and they didn’t score a touchdown until it didn’t matter anymore. Meanwhile, their defense had a ton of trouble containing George Kittle and Christian McCaffrey, who combined for 231 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns.
One exception to the rule was safety Ryan Neal, who’s had a superb season and become the team’s most-consistent defender. Neal has the highest Pro Football Focus grade on Seattle’s defense this year and he was their highest-graded player in last night’s loss. Here’s every grade on offense and defense.
