Can Brock Purdy And Kyle Shanahan Solve The 49ers’ Mike Macdonald Problem?

Huge stakes in Seattle — winner grabs first place in the NFC West and valuable tiebreaks, so this feels more like a playoff tilt than Week 5.
The Seahawks under Mike Macdonald have been San Francisco’s nemesis, locking down the middle of the field and limiting big plays — Purdy has struggled against them.
Expect a trench battle and creative run-game chess; if Shanahan can open lanes and keep Purdy comfortable, the Niners could not only win the division but boost Purdy’s MVP case.
