00:00week six of the 2024 National Football League season kicking off last night in Seattle,

00:09a Pacific Northwest duel between divisional foes, the San Francisco 49ers, three and a

00:14half point road favorite in the Northwest against the Seattle Seahawks total that closed

00:19at 48 and a half. Joe, as I shared in the open, my handicap for this game was rather

00:25simple is San Francisco, despite being sub 500 and it's opening five games is going to

00:32be the NFC title favorites, which they remained entering week six and a Super Bowl front runner

00:38alongside the chiefs and the best of the best from the AFC win and cover on the road last

00:45night in Seattle, even on a short week, even against a divisional mate. And that's what

00:50the 49ers did. 3624 the victory for San Fran, they cover as a three and a half point road

00:58favorite. They were up by nearly two touchdowns at the break did get a little bit interesting

01:03after they scored an opening touchdown in the third quarter. LaVisca Chanel 97 yard

01:08kickoff return Kenneth Walker, the third, a short rushing touchdown in the final minute

01:13and a half of the third quarter to make it just a one score game. But from there, San

01:18Francisco pulls away for good. Joe, what did you learn about this 49ers team? The favorites

01:25to win the NFC crown?

01:28Well, when they play like that, they're going to be very difficult to beat. So I think they

01:33know that I thought Brock Purdy had a tremendous game. I thought his throws were on point. And

01:39I thought Gino Smith. He looked off from the from the get go there. I think the opening the

01:45opening possession ended up in a interception with him. They him and Metcalf just didn't

01:51seem to be on the same page. And we got a problem with the Seahawks defense, folks,

01:57especially against better, better offenses that can push the ball. And I think the coach

02:03McDonald even said afterward, he said, Listen, we got to go back to the drawing board. We're

02:06not doing a lot of the little things correct here. And while your defense isn't doing a

02:12lot of things correct here, and they're giving up far too many plays, if it wasn't for that

02:16return by Chanel, this game wasn't even remotely close. And at any point, did you ever think

02:23Seattle was really in this matchup at all?
