Rarely does one play mean the difference between a win or a loss in the NFL, but it can be the impetus for an unrecoverable momentum shift. For the Seahawks, Travis Homer’s costly fumble just before halftime was one such play.
Trailing 7-3 with 68 seconds remaining in the half, the Seahawks had an opportunity to drive down for some points before intermission. Having been mostly outplayed thus far by the Niners, Seattle could have stolen some positive momentum. Unfortunately, Homer fumbled at Seattle’s 46, and the Niners returned the recovered fumble all the way to the 6-yard line.
San Francisco scored a touchdown two plays later to go up 14-3, then scored a quick touchdown (more on that next) on the opening possession of the second half to make an insurmountable 21-3 deficit.
Meanwhile, Homer finished the game with five total touches and nine all-purpose yards.
