The 49ers have now won four straight games against the Seahawks. The Pacific Northwest rivalry that defined the NFC West for the better part of the 2010s has tilted to the south, and Pete Carroll's tenure is in the part of its arc where the team that used to be Seattle's measuring stick has become the team Seattle measures itself against.
8-3 with a two-game NFC West lead. The Eagles come up at home next on Sunday Night Football, the rematch that ended the 49ers' last season. The bye-week reset has produced the team that finished 12-4 a year ago and is on track to do it again.
