Player Highlights
Colin Kaepernick, the best of recent players completed 17 of 22 passes made for 215 yards, besides a touchdown. He however faced duress all day. He showed a solid performance in the first half, where he set up to a rushing touchdown for Shaun Draughn with two shorts. However, this offence was weak on the third quarter but later on in the fourth quarter showed some life, a thing that has become par for the course. This was a decent enough performance for him, considering his previous bad performance against Seahawks in the seahawks vs 49ers 2017 game.
At five times, he was sacked by Seahawks defence, plus two times by Bobby Wagner, a linebacker, the highest number in his carrier. As a team, the 49ers fumbled for three times. Even with the score still in doubt, Seattle sent Trevon Boykin to close it out in the second half. This turned the game into a glorified preseason game. In case Atlanta had lost, they would have claimed the second seed.
