The San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks will meet from Lumen Field for a Thursday Night Football divisional battle.
The 49ers come into the contest with a 2-3 record on the season. After winning the NFC a season ago, expectations were high for Kyle Shanahan's team coming into the season.
San Francisco entered the season with the best odds of winning the NFC. Last week, the 49ers lost a heartbreaker at home against the Arizona Cardinals. The Niners have lost three of their last four games since the opening week win over the New York Jets.
A big reason for the Niners' early season struggles is injuries. No injury has been more significant than running back Christian McCaffrey. McCaffrey has not played this season, and his status for the rest of the season is questionable.

San Francisco 49ers vs. Seattle Seahawks Prediction
Signal caller Brock Purdy leads the 49ers offense. Purdy has thrown for 1,374 yards, six touchdowns, and four interceptions.
Running back Jordan Mason has enjoyed the best year of his young career, rushing for 536 yards and three touchdowns.
Jauan Jennings has been the top target in the passing game. Jennings has racked up 377 yards and three touchdowns.
The 49ers defense ranks 12th in points allowed per game (21.2).
Seattle begins the contest with a 3-2 record. After a hot 3-0 start to the season, the Seahawks have dropped back-to-back games. Last weekend, the Seahawks offense was sluggish in the first half. Seattle stormed back in the second half, but a last-minute turnover sealed the win for the New York Giants.
Tonight is a crucial game for the Seahawks, who will try to avoid falling back to the .500 mark. A win tonight would give the Seahawks a two-game lead in the division over the 49ers.
Veteran Geno Smith has reinvented himself in Seattle. Smith has thrown for 1,466 yards, five touchdowns, and four interceptions.
Kenneth Walker III has scampered for a team-best 202 yards and four touchdowns.
Former Ole Miss standout DK Metcalf leads the team with 421 yards and two touchdowns.
The Seattle defense ranks 17th, allowing 22.8 points per game.
