Kyle Shanahan prepares for Seahawks' defense amid past struggles

Summary

The 49ers have struggled offensively against the Seahawks in previous meetings, scoring just nine points in two games last season. Shanahan has been praised for his play-calling this season, leading his team to a 4-0 record and ranking high in offensive metrics. However, he acknowledges the challenge posed by the Seahawks' elite defense, which has allowed the fewest yards per game this season. As the 49ers look to improve their performance against Seattle, the ability to run the ball effectively will be crucial.
