I think the title says it all. Wooooooooo! There are few teams the 49ers could beat where a win meant more than draft positioning, and the Seahawks are definitely the absolute best of those few.
The 49ers not only beat the Seahawks, they closed against the Seahawks. They went up against one of the better teams in the division and made them submit in overtime, via T.K.O. They have a lot to be proud of. This isn’t just another win, this is a win against a proverbial bully in their division who succeeded in making life difficult for years.
If the 49ers don’t win another game, I’ll at least feel good with this win. This one was definitely special. Draft picks be damned.
