Two rivals from the NFC West are set to clash this week on Thursday Night Football. A division rivalry that started in 2002 and intensified in 2011, the first game of week 6 of the 2024 NFL season promises to deliver fireworks. So, who plays Thursday Night Football tonight? Let’s find out!
The Seattle Seahawks (3-2) will play host to the San Francisco 49ers (2-3) for Week 6 Thursday Night Football game. The game will be played on October 10, 2024 at the Lumen Field in Seattle, Washington.
The 49ers, who played the Super Bowl last year, have had some hiccups along the way. The Achilles injury to their star running back Christian McCaffrey was not the best way to start the season. Though Jordan Mason has been nothing less than spectacular as the side’s new running back, Kyle Shanahan would have loved to have an ace like CMac.
With defensive tackle Jordan Elliot and kicker Jake Moody out too, the 49ers have a tough game at their hands against the Seahawks.
The Seahawks have their own fair share of problems. They started the regular season 3-0 with wins over the Broncos, the Patriots and the Dolphins (who they absolutely steamrolled). But the Seahawks find themselves on a 2 game losing streak as they lost to the Detroit Lions and the New York Giants.
For the game against the 49ers, DT Byron Murphy II, CB Ric Woolen and LB Uchenna Nwosu have been ruled out due to injuries.
The Seattle Seahawks lead the overall head-to-head record against the San Francisco 49ers by 30-22. The Seahawks lead the regular season meetings by 29-21. As for the postseason encounters, both sides share 1 win a piece. Despite being down on the overall H2H, the 49ers are coming to this game riding a 5-game win streak against the Seahawks, starting from the 2022 season.
