SANTA CLARA -- This is the live blog for the San Francisco 49ers' Week 11 home game against the Seattle Seahawks. I will update this frequently with information and analysis from the press box.

11:53 Here are the 49ers' inactives: George Kittle, Charvarius Ward, Ronnie Bell, Khalil Davis, Ben Bartch, Kevin Givens and Josh Dobbs.

That means Nick Bosa and Trent Williams will play although neither will be 100 percent healthy.

The absence of Charvarius Ward could be big in this game. He also missed the previous game against the Seahawks, but since then Jaxson Smith-Njigba has emerged as a serious threat at wide receiver. Which means the Seahawks now have three excellent wide receivers including D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. So they can turns going after 49ers no. 3 cornerback Isaac Yiadom. Advantage: Seattle.

On the other side of the ball, the absence of George Kittle will hurt the 49ers offense considering he scored two touchdowns against Seattle earlier this season. The 49ers offense won't be as good without him. Fortunately for the 49ers, the Seahawks defense is simply terrible. It's ranked 25th in yards and allowed and 23rd in points allowed.

For the Seahawks to have any chance to beat the 49ers, they have to shut down Christian McCaffrey and the 49ers running game. And so far this season, Seattle has given up a whopping 4.8 yards per carry.

So I expect another high-scoring win for the 49ers against the Seahawks.

FINAL SCORE PREDICTION:

49ers 27, Seahawks 24.

1:04 The Seahawks win the toss and defer. The 49ers will receive the opening kickoff.

FIRST QUARTER

1:08 On 3rd and 3 from the 49ers 33, Brock Purdy completes a 2-yard pass to Jauan Jennings and the 49ers go three and out. After the punt, the Seahawks take over at their 22.

1:15 On 3rd and 9 from the 49ers 27, Nick Bosa sacks Geno Smith. Next play, the Seahawks make a 52-yard field goal.

49ers 0, Seahawks 3.

1:29 On 2nd and goal from the 10, Purdy scrambles to his right and dives for a touchdown. The 49ers are so tough to stop when Purdy uses his legs.

49ers 7, Seahawks 3.

SECOND QUARTER

1:39 On 2nd and 5 from the 49ers 43, Seahawks backup center Olu Oluwatimi snaps the ball over Geno Smith's head. Smith falls on the ball and loses 17 yards. Seattle punts two plays later and the 49ers take over at their 20.

1:44 On 2nd and 5 from the 49ers 25, Purdy forces a pass over the middle to Christian McCaffrey, the pass gets tipped by Devon Witherspoon and intercepted by defensive tackle Johnathan Hankins. The Seahawks take over at the SF 29.

1:47 On 3rd and 10 from the 49ers 29, Geno Smith stands in one spot and gets sacked by Yetur Gross-Matos. Then the Seahawks make a 57-yard field goal.

49ers 7, Seahawks 6.

2:08 On 1st and 10 from the Seahawks 34, Colton McKivitz commits a false start and gives up a sack on back-to-back plays. The 49ers punt shortly after. The Seahawks take over at their 9-yard line with 1:41 and two timeouts left.

2:22 On 3rd and 12 from the Seahawks 40, Geno Smith hits tight end A.J. Barner for 9 yards, then the Seahawks punt. The 49ers take over at their 24 with 24 seconds and 1 timeout left.

2:56 On 3rd and 15 from the Seahawks 21, Purdy checks down to McCaffrey for six yards, then Jake Moody makes a 33-yard field goal.

49ers 10, Seahawks 6.

3:07 On 2nd and goal from the 1, Kenneth Walker runs into the end zone for the touchdown. The drive started with a sack from Nick Bosa, but he reaggravated his hip injury during the play and did not return. On television they're saying Bosa's injury is to his oblique.

49ers 13, Seahawks 10.

FOURTH QUARTER

3:26 On 2nd and goal from the 3, Purdy fakes a handoff and throws a touchdown pass to a wide open Jauan. Jennings, who's having a monster game.

49ers 17, Seahawks 13.

3:40 On fourth and 1 from the 49ers 37, Zach Charbonnet rushes for no gain and the Seahawks turn it over on downs with 3:56 left.

3:50 On 3rd and 11 from the Seattle 47, Purdy completes a 5-yard pass to Jennings. After the punt, the Seahawks take over at their 20 with 2:38 and 1 timeout left.

4:04 On 2nd and 2 from the 13, Geno Smith scrambles for a touchdown. That comes two plays after he scrambled for 16 yards on 2nd and 13. The 49ers' inability to contain a mobile quarterback kills them again.

49ers 17, Seahawks 20.

The 49ers lose. Stay tuned for the 49ers grades.
