97.1 The Ticket -- In their quest to keep their undefeated season alive against the rival Seahawks on Monday Night Football, the 49ers defense delivered quite the bizarre play early in the fourth quarter.
With a 21-10 lead with just over 12 minutes to play, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson was under durress and attempted to tuck the ball and take the sack, only to have it stripped. Seattle offensive lineman Germain Ifedi snagged the ball out of the air and attempted to run with it, but the 49ers were able to strip him as well, and DeForest Bucker waltzed into the end zone to cap off the wild play.
