The Seahawks and 49ers will meet for the second time in three weeks this Sunday in Santa Clara with another reunion on deck for Richard Sherman and his former team. Prior to their first meeting two weeks ago, Sherman said he didn’t have much of a relationship with his former quarterback, Russell Wilson, was irked by his how he was jettisoned by the franchise while injured, and referred to the Seahawks as a “middle of the road” team. Meanwhile, Seahawks defensive end Frank Clark said following the Vikings win on Monday night that he didn’t make too much of Sherman’s comments, but made it clear that they’re not looking backward as a unit.

Baldwin played 54 of 58 offensive snaps against the 49ers but was unable to practice all last week before being deemed inactive against the Vikings.

Richard Sherman downplays war of words with Seahawks
Thursday, December 13th, 2018

Once a weakness, offensive line now strength for Seahawks
Thursday, December 13th, 2018
Jordan Simmons was basically an unknown when the Seattle Seahawks claimed him off waivers from the Oakland Raiders on Sept. 2. After several seasons of Seattle's offensive line being a major problem, it's become a solid position group that is clearly not the weakness it's been in the past. ''It's the whole unit working together as one,'' Solari said.
Pete Carroll doesn’t dispute Frank Clark’s assessment of an extended Super Bowl XLIX hangover
Thursday, December 13th, 2018
Immediately after the Seahawks’ decision to throw the ball at the goal line resulted in a Super Bowl loss instead of a Super Bowl win, it became obvious that multiple Seahawks players would have a hard time getting over it. Three years later, the Seahawks have finally cleared out anyone who couldn’t forget about the decision that kept Seattle from launching a bona fide football dynasty. Defensive end Frank Clark, who arrived after Super Bowl XLIX, said after Monday’s win over the Vikings that “we’ve had this spirit over us, that Super Bowl lingering from 2015,” and that “I feel like for the longest [time] we had that cloud over us, like people wouldn’t get over it.

Seahawks, 49ers meet for the second time this month
Wednesday, December 12th, 2018Playing twice in a three-week span is unusual, but the Seattle Seahawks and the San Francisco 49ers will go at it again Sunday at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif.

Kyle Shanahan wants $25K fine lifted, NFL officials to use common sense
Wednesday, December 12th, 2018Kyle Shanahan wants $25K fine lifted, NFL officials to use common sense originally appeared on nbcsportsbayarea.com SANTA CLARA -- 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that he'll appeal his $25,000 NFL fine for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty he drew during the third quarter of the team's Week 13 matchup with the Seahawks in Seattle. Shanahan's outburst occurred after Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson threw the shoe that 49ers linebacker Fred Warner had lost on the field during the previous play. The Seahawks went into hurry-up offense and snapped the ball before the 49ers could field a substitution, so they were called offside.
