Week 6’s “Thursday Night Football” matchup features a pair of NFC West teams in pursuit of the 2024 division title. 

The defending conference champion 49ers are set to visit the Seahawks, and both teams are looking to rinse the bad taste of Week 5 losses against opponents they were expected to beat. 

San Fransisco is coming off a 24-23 loss to the Cardinals, who made a fourth-quarter comeback before picking off Brock Purdy to seal the game. It marked the third loss in the last four games for the 49ers, a surprising twist for a team expected to be one of the NFC’s best.

The 49ers beat the Jets in Week 1 and the Patriots in Week 4, but they’ve also lost a trio of one-score games. Running back Christian McCaffrey, who is on injured reserve, hasn’t seen the field yet this season after an unexpected Achilles injury, and San Fransisco has dealt with a variety of other injuries on both sides of the ball as well.

The Seahawks, meanwhile, fell 29-20 to the Giants in Week 5 despite Geno Smith throwing for 284 yards and running for another 72. Seattle was torched by New York running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. and wide receiver Darius Slayton in the matchup, and the Giants concluded the game with a 60-yard blocked field goal score. 

Even with some recent struggles, both NFC West squads remain well in the mix for the division, with San Fransisco sitting at 2-3 and Seattle at 3-2. There’s a lot of football left to play in the regular season, but Thursday’s matchup could wind up being pivotal in how the divisional race concludes.
