49ers score vs. Seahawks, live updates: Deebo Samuel Sr. ruled out with hamstring injury as San Francisco surges to retake lead in 4th quarter
The San Francisco 49ers will travel to Lumen Field to take on the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday afternoon, with kickoff set for 4:25 p.m. ET. This is a rematch of last year’s divisional round, where Seattle dominated San Francisco, 41-6, en route to a victory in Super Bowl LX.
The Niners entered Week 5 as one of three teams remaining undefeated, ranking second in the league with 30.5 points per game while leading the league in points per game with 6.8. They will be without star defensive end Nick Bosa (knee/calf) for his third straight game, and also without fullback Kyle Juszczyk after he injured his knee last week, a key part of San Francisco’s running game.
