The priority when facing the Seattle Seahawks for years was figuring out how to deal with the Legion of Boom and that dominant defense.Now the strength for Seattle is Russell Wilson and a dynamic passing offense, creating quite the interesting matchup when the Seahawks (7-2) visit San Francisco on Monday night to take on the 49ers (8-0) and one of the league's stingiest defenses."I used to love Russell when I was on his team, but he's been creating a lot of nightmares lately," said 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, a former assistant in Seattle. "They're doing a really, really nice job and it's really cool the way those guys work together, because a lot of it is Russell starts scrambling. His throws on the run and all that stuff, his stuff out of the pocket and the way they're married together, and I know they practice it all, it's almost a play and then a play when he starts scrambling, which they work on. The way they've got that thing dialed in is what makes it very unique and what makes it special."San Francisco has completely shut down opponents over the first half of the season, ranking near the top of league in nearly every significant defensive category.With a fierce pass rush led by rookie edge rusher Nick Bosa, offseason acquisition Dee Ford and inside pushers DeForest Buckner and Arik Armstead, have done a good job generating consistent pressure and rank tied for third in the league with 30 sacks.When the pass rush hasn't gotten to the quarterback, the coverage in jerseys pro the secondary has been outstanding as well led by former Seahawks star Richard Sherman, who looks to be back to his elite shut-down form after working his way back last year from an Achilles' injury.San Francisco has allowed a league-low 138.1 yards passing per game and is also best in the league with 241 yards allowed per game.The Niners also rank best in the league in preventing touchdowns in the red zone, allowing them on less than one-third of trips inside the 20, have allowed the second fewest points per game (12.8) and rank tied for fourth with 16 takeaways.But much of that came against some offenses that aren't considered among the league's elite with San Francisco beating winless Cincinnati in Week 2, Pittsburgh backup quarterback Mason Rudolph in his first start in Week 3, a dysfunctional Cleveland team the following game, a helpless Washington team in a downpour and another backup quarterback in Carolina's Kyle Allen.The defense wasn't as sharp last week against rookie Kyler Murray and Arizona despite winning 28-25. San Francisco allowed a season-high in yards (357) and points, leaving Sherman especially salty."That was legitimately just not up to our standard of football," Sherman said. "At the end of the day, I think just about everybody who's on our defense would say it. It's different between getting beat while executing and you not executing so you get beat. That was the problem in that game. We were getting beat because we weren't executing. … I was legitimately upset because it wasn't to our standard of play."They'll have more tough tests like that in the second half of the season with a game against Wilson, a rematch with Murray, and matchups against Green Bay's Aaron Rodgers and Baltimore's Lamar Jackson coming up in the next four weeks.Wilson is one of the leading MVP candidates with 22 touchdown passes and only one interception so far and the Seahawks could be even more dangerous with the addition of big-play receiver Josh Gordon.Wilson has tormented the Niners countless times over the years, winning 12 of his 15 starts against them, including the AFC championship game following the 2013 season.With his ability to extend plays with his legs and turn what seemed to be negative plays into positive ones, the Niners know this won't be easy."He's one of the better guys at it," Buckner said. "He's done it for a long time. He knows how to dodge guys in the pocket. He has a really good feel of getting his o-line back in places to really help defend him from guys trying to sack him. … Playing against him for three years, sometimes you feel like you know his escape routes and stuff like that and he'll still end up making you miss. He made me miss a couple last year and I'm still thinking about that."NOTES: TE George Kittle missed his third straight practice with injuries to his knee and ankle and his status for the game remains in doubt. … K Robbie Gould (quadriceps) also didn't practice. … CB Ahkello Witherspoon (foot) got back to practice on a limited basis and will be team jerseys pro a game-time decision.

This group of Seattle Seahawks won't forget sitting on the tarmac in Charlotte, North Carolina, waiting to take off.Gathered around a cellphone on Sunday evening, the Seahawks watched as they not only clinched a playoff berth for the eighth time in the past 10 seasons thanks to the loss by the Los Angeles Rams, but took over the No. 1 seed in the NFC. It was a perfect cap to a day when the Seahawks (11-3) finished off the best road record in franchise history at 7-1 with their 30-24 win over the Panthers. "It was a blast. It was really fun," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. "It had already been announced that the Rams were falling. It was a really cool moment for the team and they had a lot of fun with it. It was the kind of ride home you like."Seattle has two home games left and a straight line to a bye in the playoffs at the very least. Win their final two and the Seahawks will be NFC West champs and at worst the No. 2 seed. Finish in a three-way tie with New Orleans and Green Bay, or just a head-to-head tie with the Packers, and the NFC playoffs will go through Seattle.Almost everything is in Seattle's control, just the way Carroll wants. "To come out of it where we are right now and be one of the highest NFC seeds, after all that's happened so far, that's a good accomplishment for us," Carroll said.WHAT'S WORKINGSo much for the loss of Seattle's 1-2 punch in its offensive backfield. Chris Carson team jerseys pro was more than willing to take on the running load against the Panthers. Carson rushed for 133 yards and two touchdowns, and averaged 5.5 yards per carry. Seattle had eased off Carson the past few weeks as Rashaad Penny took a bigger role in the offense. But Penny suffered a season-ending knee injury last week against the Rams. Seattle did give a few carries to C.J. Prosise and Travis Homer, but Carson was the undisputed feature back with 25 touches.WHAT NEEDS HELPSeattle has won 10 one-score games this season, the most by any team since the 1978 Houston Oilers. The margin over the Panthers should have been greater. Seattle has a troubling trend of playing soft defensively in the fourth quarter and letting an opponent make the final few minutes unnerving. It happened earlier this season against Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Minnesota and Philadelphia. And it happened against the Panthers. Carroll indicated that was somewhat by design with the number of injuries on Seattle's defense and the inexperience on the field in the fourth quarter. Still, a less dramatic fourth quarter would be welcome.STOCK UPAfter a month of dealing with a severe leg bruise and an illness that robbed Tyler Lockett of 10 pounds he probably needs, the Seahawks' top receiver was back to being a major downfield threat against the Panthers. Lockett had eight catches for 120 yards and a touchdown. He had eight catches for 107 yards in his previous four games combined.STOCK DOWNIt can't get much more down than WR Josh Gordon, who was suspended indefinitely by the NFL on Monday for violating league policies https://www.teamjerseyspro.com on performance enhancers and substances of abuse. It's the eighth time in his career Gordon has been suspended either by the league or by his team. Gordon had just seven catches over five games with Seattle, including a remarkable fingertip catch from Wilson for 58 yards on Sunday. He likely finished his Seattle tenure with 139 yards receiving and no touchdowns. INJURIESThere are plenty of injury concerns on the defensive side. Safety Quandre Diggs is at the top of the list with a high ankle sprain that knocked him out of Sunday's win and had him leaving the field in a walking boot. The arrival of Diggs at midseason helped solidify Seattle's defense, and the Seahawks will hope to have him back for Week 17 against San Francisco. Carroll said linebacker Bobby Wagner intends to play through his sprained ankle. Cornerback Shaquill Griffin's playing status will likely be a late-week decision because of a hamstring injury, while Carroll is hopeful linebacker Mychal Kendricks will be able to return from his hamstring injury after missing the past two games. On the defensive line, both Jadeveon Clowney (illness) and Ziggy Ansah (shoulder) should be able to return this week, Carroll said. KEY NUMBER6 Carson now has six 100-yard games this season. The Seahawks are 6-0 in those games. WHAT'S NEXTSeattle rolled to a 17-point victory at Arizona in Week 4, its only comfortable win of the season. The Seahawks were able to keep Kyler Murray in check and got a key defensive touchdown from Clowney. Arizona has been a late-season problem for Seattle in the past, and the team jerseys stakes this time could be significant.

The real-life "Jerry Maguire" is riding a nice comeback wave.A decade after his personal and professional life bottomed out, agent Leigh Steinberg has another Super Bowl MVP client, saw his 11th former client elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and likely will have two clients taken in the first round of this year's NFL draft."It's a great thrill," Steinberg said in a phone interview from his office in Newport Beach. "When you're representing athletes, there are probably three high points or marks of distinction. One is to have the MVP of the Super Bowl, one is to have a quarterback who can go very high in the draft, maybe the first pick, and one is to have players go into the Hall of Fame."Steinberg hit on two of the three two weekends ago. Edgerrin James was elected to the Hall of Fame and the next day, Patrick Mahomes was named Super Bowl MVP after helping rally the Kansas City Chiefs to a 31-20 victory against the San Francisco 49ers. Two of Steinberg's newest clients, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa and wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, both of Alabama, are expected to be first-round draft picks.Representing a Super Bowl MVP is nothing new for Steinberg. It's just that it had been 25 years since his last one, Steve Young.This time, it was with one of the NFL's most exciting young players."It's wonderful," said Steinberg, who added that Mahomes is the kind of player and person he has always sought to represent, someone of high character and strong work ethic willing to be a role model and give back to the community. "Again, first of all because of the type of person he is. He has a unique skillset. I still love the opportunity to enhance the best values in young people and prepare them not only for their playing career, but for a second career."Steinberg, who turns 71 next month, has picked up a nice second wind himself.A powerful agent since 1975, Steinberg had an all-star list of clients that included https://www.teamjerseyspro.com many who would become Hall of Famers, including Young, Troy Aikman also a Super Bowl MVP Warren Moon, Howie Long, Thurman Thomas, Derrick Thomas and Bruce Smith. Known for a squeaky clean image, he battled alcoholism and bankruptcy, and let his agent certification lapse.After getting sober and clearing bankruptcy, Steinberg was recertified by the NFL Players Association in 2013 and launched Steinberg Sports and Entertainment with the help of Chris Cabott. Steinberg is CEO and chairman, and Cabott is chief operating officer, president and lead agent.Cabott said he got to know Steinberg through mutual friends when he was supporting a family member's sobriety while Steinberg was pursuing his sobriety."I really respected his bravery to get off the canvas," Cabott said.Cabott, who helped shape Steinberg's relaunched agency, said he started scouting Mahomes when he was a freshman at Texas Tech. "I thought there was magic there, with a distinctive playmaking ability we hadn't seen before," the agent said.After struggling to contact the family, Cabott said he "got up the gumption" to call Mahomes' mother at work. "She called back two weeks later and the heavens opened up."Cabott and Steinberg met with Mahomes' parents, Pat Mahomes and Randi Martin, and his godfather, former big league pitcher LaTroy Hawkins. "They were looking for something unique, something very boutique-focused, but with a lot of experience behind it. It seemed like we had that unique fit," Cabott said.Pat Mahomes pitched in the major leagues for 11 seasons and had heard of Steinberg."Being a professional athlete and a big fan of football, I definitely knew who Jerry Maguire was," Pat Mahomes said, referring to Steinberg, who was the inspiration for Tom Cruise's character in the 1996 movie."We knew Leigh went through some stuff. He was out front about it," Pat Mahomes said. "He just built up a big trust and belief system in me and LaTroy Hawkins and his mom." They narrowed the field to five agents "and put Patrick in front of them and let him make the decision for himself," Pat Mahomes said.Before team jerseys Steinberg and Cabott showed Patrick Mahomes the money, they showed him a plan."I mean, he was always upfront and honest with me and believed in me, and he and Chris had a plan for me going into the draft," Patrick Mahomes told The Associated Press at the start of the 2019 season. "It really came down to trusting those guys and seeing what they had planned for me."The Chiefs are likely to make Mahomes, the 2018 NFL MVP, the league's highest-paid player this offseason. Steinberg and Cabott declined comment.Steinberg has represented eight players who have gone No. 1 overall in the draft and 62 who went in the first round, including Mahomes at No. 10 overall in 2017. He's equally proud of players who've found successful second careers and continue their philanthropy.Steinberg himself mentors young people interested in sports careers through his Agent Academy and Sports Career Conference."He's the godfather of our industry," Cabott said. "That will never change."Steinberg has another milestone coming up. March 21 will mark 10 years of sobriety."People talk about the comeback; my real comeback is having been a good parent and maintaining continuous sobriety," he said. "I didn't do it alone. If there are people out there struggling and hopeless because of some form of substance addiction, there are 12-step programs and unique fellowships that can help. There's a light at the end of the tunnel."The reason I've been public about it, the alcoholism, is it might inspire someone to help find a path forward."Although he doesn't plan to slow down. Steinberg said his agency is set up for continuity. Steinberg calls the 40-year-old Cabott "a superstar agent," and Steinberg's middle son, Matt, 28, also is an agent with the firm."I've been blessed with high energy, and I picked a profession where everything I was interested in I could do," Steinberg said. "I could make a difference in the world, I could be involved in motion pictures and write books."I'm filled with lots of energy and frankly I don't see myself raising orchids or jerseys pro sitting on a park bench."

Dak Prescott was outplayed by Mitchell Trubisky. Jason Witten was very quiet, and Brett Maher made two big mistakes in the kicking game.Right now, the biggest reason for optimism for Dallas just might be the rest of the NFC East.Prescott's late rally ran out of time, and the Cowboys dropped their third straight game with a 31-24 loss to the Chicago Bears on Tom Waddle Color Rush Jersey Thursday night."We did all of the things that you can do that cause you to lose football games," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said.Dallas (6-7) marched down the field on its first possession, capping a 17-play, 75-yard drive with the first of two 2-yard touchdown runs for Ezekiel Elliott. Then it was stuck in neutral for most of the next 2 1/2 quarters.The Bears https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Kyle-Long-Jersey (7-6) ripped off 24 straight points before Elliott scored again on the first play of the fourth quarter. It was similar to Dallas' game against Buffalo a week ago, when the Cowboys scored on their first and last drive in a 26-15 loss to the Bills.After Elliott's second TD, Maher sent the ensuing kickoff out of bounds to set up Chicago at its Pat O'Donnell Jersey 40. The Bears responded with a three-play, 60-yard drive, with Trubisky scrambling for 23 yards to make it 31-14 with 13:22 remaining.Trubisky passed for 244 yards and three touchdown, and had 10 carries for a season-high 63 yards. His previous best was 18 yards rushing in a 19-14 victory over the New York Giants on Nov. 24."Everyone's got mobile quarterbacks," Cowboys defensive end Mitchell Trubisky Color Rush Jersey Robert Quinn said. "It's just an extra challenge playing defense when you have a mobile quarterback, but it's no excuse. We all got jobs and responsibilities, and we just need to handle them better." Dallas lost for the seventh time in 10 games since its 3-0 start. But it still leads the NFC East by a half-game over Philadelphia, which hosts the last-place https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Adam-Shaheen-Jersey Giants on Monday night. The Cowboys visit the Eagles on Dec. 22."I don't know how it is, we're still in the leader for our division," Prescott said. "Got to be thankful for that, but we can't hang our hat on that. We have to figure out our issues now, fix them and get better." Prescott passed for 334 yards and a touchdown, but Prince Amukamara Jersey he did most of his damage with the Cowboys trying to rally in the final quarter. Witten finished with five receptions for 37 yards.The Bears played without cornerback Prince Amukamara, who was sidelined by a hamstring injury. Kevin Toliver II replaced Amukamara in the starting lineup, and Amari Cooper felt the Cowboys should have gone after him more."I think we should've tested him Nick Kwiatkoski Color Rush Jersey to see what he was about," said Cooper, who had a 19-yard TD reception in the fourth. "But obviously we had our game plan ready. We didn't know this guy was going to play until today." Dallas also was hurt by another missed field goal by Maher, who is 20 for 30 on the season. With the Cowboys trailing 10-7 in the second https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Joel-Iyiegbuniwe-Jersey quarter, he was wide right on a 42-yard try."I felt like I did a good job staying in my lane this week," said Maher, who connected from 31 yards with 8 seconds left. "I felt like I hit every ball pretty well tonight, and I'll put my head on the pillow tonight feeling good about what I did this week and moving forward."Maher Charles Leno Jersey also missed two field goals against Buffalo, from 35 and 47 yards. The Cowboys then brought in kickers for tryouts, but opted to stay with Maher.Asked if the team might make a change now, Jones said he wasn't going to get into those kinds of details."We basically have a good assessment of what the kicking situation is availability-wise other than the kickers we Sherrick McManis Color Rush Jersey have right now, and so that'll dictate what we're doing," Jones said.

It hasn't been a streak of accuracy on a level with Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees or Tom Brady. Nevertheless, Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky has eliminated interceptions over his past three starts.Whether Trubisky can continue making good decisions and throws in his first playoff game at Soldier Field against the defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles could go a long way toward determining if the Bears' season continues."I think I've gotten better through the course https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Roquan-Smith-Jersey of the season," Trubisky said, "just continuing to make adjustments, making those split-second decisions and just continue to get better and be critical of myself when I don't and learn from those mistakes."Trubisky suffered through a difficult three-interception game in the Bears' 15-6 win over the Los Angeles Rams, when he returned from a two-game absence because of a shoulder injury.After a third-quarter interception, Bears coach Matt Nagy went entirely to the ground game the Eric Kush Jersey rest of the way. Since then, Trubisky has become deadly accurate and clutch."He just handles adversity," Nagy said. "He knows how to run this offense now. He's at a point right now where when he calls a play in the huddle, he can start looking at the defense rather than looking at the offense."Trubisky went 63 of 83 for 644 yards with three touchdown passes and no interceptions for a passer rating of 109.7 in Leonard Floyd Color Rush Jersey wins over the Packers, 49ers and Vikings.Nagy called it a matter of coaches figuring out what plays and formations Trubisky performs best and knows best."I think he's finally starting to really understand who we are becoming as an identity within this offense," Nagy said.So Nagy has some advice for Trubisky heading into his first postseason game, as the Bears try to take advantage of an Eagles pass defense ranked 30th in the NFL."To not change, https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Brian-Urlacher-Jersey for him to continue to do just what he does," Nagy said. "Last week, he had a little bit of a test of it, and I thought he did a great job handling the situation."The 24-10 win at Minnesota on Sunday featured some of Trubisky's best play on third down. He accounted for seven third-down conversions. And he did it against the NFL's best third-down defense."We all have our trust in him," running back Tarik Dan Hampton Jersey Cohen said. "We've seen him make the best of plays when times didn't look so bright.
