It looked like the San Francisco 49ers were going to continue to struggle to keep up with the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle opened the Week 2 game with a 16-play scoring drive, and started stomping on the accelerator.
In the first quarter, the Seahawks had the ball for over 12 minutes, running nearly 30 plays. The 49ers struggled, running their fifth play near the end of the first quarter. Quarterback Brian Hoyer finished the first quarter 1 of 3, for minus-one yard and an interception.
Fortunately, the 49ers' defense held the Seahawks to two field goals in the first quarter, and could not mount a drive to begin the second.
The teams traded punts, and on the Seahawks' fifth possession, quarterback
Russell Wilson went deep on the left side, but the throw was incomplete. Safety Eric Reid, who was not involved in the play, went down with a lower left leg injury. He walked off under his own power and is questionable to return with a knee injury.
After a punt, San Francisco got the ball back for its fifth possession. On the second play, running back Carlos Hyde broke through the line for a huge 61-yard run, the longest of his career. However, the 49ers could not capitalize and settled for a 40-yard field goal from Robbie Gould.
After holding Seattle to a three-and-out, the 49ers took over with fewer than two minutes left in the half. Hyde ripped another long run, this time 27 yards, to set up Gould's second successful field goal attempt of the day. The teams went into their locker rooms tied at six points each.

Breaking down the 49ers drafts under John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan
We are less than one week away from the NFL Draft, and the San Francisco 49ers have their first day-one draft pick since 2021. That was the year they selected QB Trey Lance number three overall. The trade-up to get Lance cost the 49ers their first-round picks in 2022 and 2023. And now that they are back in the first round, at pick 31, fans are anxious to see what the team does with the pick. And with former assistant GM, Adam Peters, now in Washington, it will be interesting to see how well the 49ers draft without Peters in the room.
We looked back at the seven drafts GM John Lynch and Head Coach Kyle Shanahan have led to see what information we could pull from those drafts. There were plenty of hits, plenty of misses, and a few surprises along the way. The draft picks are
49ers address both sides of the ball in Kiper and Yates 3-round mock draft
We're just 10 days away from the start of the 2024 NFL Draft. While many gain more confidence about their projections for the top of the first round, the picture of what might happen further down remains murky. Most predict the San Francisco 49ers will use their first selection, No. 31 overall, on an offensive lineman. However, an early run on the position may alter those plans. The 49ers may address another position, or they may have to move up to secure a top prospect.

Schrager mock draft has 49ers adding 'universally liked and respected' receiver
With only nine days remaining until the start of the 2024 NFL Draft, Good Morning Football's Peter Schrager revealed his first mock draft of the year. While most might expect the San Francisco 49ers to target an offensive lineman, Schrager has the team bolstering its wide receiver corps with an SEC talent.
Schrager has the 49ers using the No. 31 overall pick to select former Georgia wide receiver Ladd McConkey, whose 2023 campaign with the Bulldogs was limited by back and ankle injuries.
"McConkey in the first round? Yes," Schrager wrote. "Above guys like Troy Franklin and Keon Coleman? Perhaps. I've spoken to a
