Tonight, the San Francisco 49ers will travel to Seattle to play the Seahawks at CenturyLink Field. The 49ers and Seahawks each won their home matchup against the other in 2012.
The most recent matchup was a 42-13 win by the Seahawks in Seattle on December 23 of 2012. This series will continue the ongoing rivalry of Jim Harbaugh and Pete Carroll, a rivalry that started in college. It will also feature a showdown between two of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the league in the 49ers' Colin Kaepernick and the Seahawks'
Russell Wilson.
Another interesting matchup to watch will be Anquan Boldin and whoever lines up across from him. Will it be the Seahawks' best corner Richard Sherman or will the 49ers try to avoid Sherman by lining Boldin up all over the field as they did against the Packers last week? Boldin had 13 catches for 208 yards and a touchdown against Green Bay.
Last week, the 49ers (1-0) beat the Green Bay Packers 34-28. The Seahawks (1-0) also won their season opener 12-7 over the Carolina Panthers.
For the 49ers, RB LaMichael James (knee) is listed as questionable. For the Packers, DT Jordan Hill (biceps) is out. CB Brandon Browner (hamstring) and S Jeron Johnson (hamstring) are doubtful. DE Chris Clemons (knee) is questionable. DE Cliff Avril (hamstring), T Michael Bowie (shoulder), DT Tony McDaniel (groin), DT Brandon Mebane (ankle), WR Sidney Rice (knee) and TE Luke Willson (oblique) are probable.

"49ers look like the NFL's most complete team": Where San Francisco stands in Week 4 power rankings
The undefeated Miami Dolphins' 70-20 win over the winless Denver Broncos has shot them to the top of multiple power rankings. However, for most, the San Francisco 49ers sit in the top spot.
Also undefeated and sitting atop the NFC West standings, the 49ers are coming off a 30-12 win over the New York Giants. The team is so well-rounded, and Brock Purdy continues to rack up the wins as the starting quarterback.

49ers Notebook: Deebo is no longer "awful"; Ronnie Bell makes a splash; J.J. Watt praises Niners; Captain Andrew Luck makes Levi's cameo
Thursday night was a fun one at Levi's Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-12 victory over the visiting New York Giants. It was a night that saw wide receiver Deebo Samuel declare himself as officially out of "awful" mode, running back Christian McCaffrey reach milestones, wide receiver Ronnie Bell create some lasting memories, and -- of all things -- Andrew Luck making a return to an NFL field (in full Civil War costume) to take part in a game of trivia.
Let's recap all that and more in this version of 49ers Notebook.

49ers demolish Giants in Week 3 victory: Key takeaways
It's hard to think of the New York Giants without some painful postseason memories. And that's why it's always so sweet to beat them soundly. And the San Francisco 49ers did just that on Thursday night, winning 30-12, and improving to 3-0 on the season.
Although the score was relatively close at halftime, it wasn't as close statistically. And by the end of the game, it was even more lopsided—on the scoreboard and on the stat sheet. When you have more YAC (yards after the catch/contact) than the other team has total yards, you've thoroughly beaten your opponent.
The Giants had 150 yards of total
