He answered it properly given how the Hawks and Niners match up. Two teams, both with good defenses, exceptional running games and mobile QB's.
The difference was the Seahawks caught the ball and that Wilson is more accurate. If any team is going to best the Niners, that team must be good at everything and complete their passes. It is why the Niners beat GB twice, why they beat the Pats, Bears and Falcons. Coincidently, the Hawks beat all those teams with the exception of having ATL finish that 30 second two play drive.
It is also why I think the Ravens will at a minimum give the Niners a lot of trouble. Force the Niners to stop both the run and the pass, play physical defense and they are average. Think about it, the Rams, Seahawks, Vikings and Giants all beat the Niners. The Rams aren't the best at anything, but they do everything fairly well, same goes for the Giants. The Vikes have the best RB, a tough defense and they threw the ball well in their win. I think the Ravens are a lot like the Rams, just more experienced.
Russell knows what beats the Niners now and from now on, it will be about execution for him.
