Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson also is 4-0 against San Francisco at CenturyLink Field. And, in their past eight regular-season games against the Seahawks, the 49ers have scored no more than a single touchdown, according to ESPN Stats & Information.Now the 49ers must face the Seahawks with quarterback Blaine Gabbert, who has never before played against Seattle.
