WATCH: Zach Charbonnet scores 27-yard TD to get Seahawks first points

The Seattle Seahawks drew first blood on the San Francisco 49ers with a 27-yard rushing touchdown from Zach Charbonnet in the first quarter.

On 3rd-and-2, The Seahawks ran a power run play and gashed the San Francisco defense, who all went to the strong side, exactly where Seattle wanted to block them. Tight end AJ Barner executed the lone block on the play side, Charbonnet hit the crease, and he was off to the races. 49ers safety Malik Mustapha tried to recover for a sideline tackle on Charbonnet, but couldn't get his head around the Seahawks running back, who already was up to full steam like a freight train.
