The Seattle Seahawks come into this game with a 3-2 record, and they are 1-1 on the road this season.The first road game was against Washington, and they lost, even though Marcus Mariota was the starting quarterback.
That isn't intended to be a shot at Mariota, it is more a reflection of how Seattle played.The Seahawks did come home to rebound and beat the Chargers, but last week they had the toughest game on their schedule to date, hosting the 49ers.
Last season, the Seahawks ended San Francisco's year and knocked them out of the playoffs.This year, the 49ers won 32-29.Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks walks on the field after the NFC Championship NFL football game against the Los Angeles Rams, Sunday, Jan.
