49ers can’t slow Rawls in 29-13 loss to Seahawks
Today’s Seattle Seahawks vs San Francisco 49ers NFL football game has a start time schedule of 4:25pm eastern time and airs on TV channel FOX in a few markets along with DirecTV Sunday Ticket nationwide.
In post-game comments tweeted out by the Seahawks, Rawls sent a little love to the Vehicle City. Rawls has provided Seattle with its best rushing success in 2015, going for 104 yards against Chicago and 169 yards against Cincinnati in two previous opportunities as the top back.
Running back Thomas Rawls was someone the team needs to thank for his contribution of their win. After winning in his first start, Gabbert had his moments against Seattle, especially at the end of the first half when he led the 49ers on a 92-yard touchdown drive just before halftime.
In Santa Clara a month ago against the 49ers, he had his only 100-yard game of the season, with 122 yards on 27 carries.

For at least one week, there should be a little less analysis of what’s gone wrong with the Seahawks. That’s an average of six yards per carry, which ranks among the best in the entire NFL.
This game marked the first since quarterback Colin Kaepernick was put on season-ending injured reserve with a torn labrum in his left shoulder.
Rawls had another stellar performance on Sunday in Seattle’s 29-13 victory over the 49ers.
With the win, the Seahawks improved to 5-5, and the rest of the NFC can’t ignore that they have a really good chance to return to the playoffs after Sunday’s games. While it’s unclear at this time if Lynch will need the surgery, the Seahawks have clearly found a strong replacement for him in Rawls.
Forgive me if I’m already thinking of Troy Aikman, Michael Irvin and Emmitt Smith and the Dallas Cowboys dynasty in the “90s, but maybe, just maybe, there is something brewing here for the long term”. The 49ers blitzed him, knowing the Seahawks struggle in protecting him, but Wilson saw it coming from miles away.
Williams said it was the first time since he became a full-time starter in the league in 2011 with Baltimore that he had been benched during a game.
Asked if Lynch could have a sports hernia injury, Carroll said, “Nothing’s ruled out at this point”.
Dawson split the uprights again late in the third quarter, but Seattle all-but sealed the win with their first possession in the fourth as Wilson completed a short pass to Rawls, leaving the rookie to sprint 31 yards for his second touchdown of the meeting.
The 49ers defense gave up 508 yards total, which isn’t reflected on the scoreboard. Sunday is his third missed game this season.
“Glenn means a lot to this team on and off the field, so obviously I have a ton of respect for his play”, Tomsula said. McDonald’s touchdown was his first career TD catch….
