The 49ers are coming off a stinging loss the Seattle. They need a win or a Seahawks loss to win the division. The 49ers are also no longer in the drivers seat for a first round bye. Defensive lineman Justin Smith had made 185 straight starts until last week. He will also miss this game. The 49ers will also be without Mario Manningham and could be without Vernon Davis.

49ers linebacker rips Seahawks fan’s sign
I’m not really sure what the Seahawks fan thought Bowman was going to do to the sign when he handed it to him, but he couldn’t have been totally shocked that Bowman ripped it.
