"We know we've been through this before. But it's a different year, a different season." It's all still plenty fresh as the rivals play another meaningful game merely 10 months later, this time between a pair of 7-4 teams trying to stay alive in the playoff race with a chance to catch first-place Arizona (9-2). "I remember just the feeling after we got that in- terception and sealing our trip to the Super Bowl," Se- ahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner said. "All that is in the past. They're trying to make it to the playoffs this year, just like we're trying to." Kaepernick isn't about to get involved in any kind of back and forth with the emotional defensive back. He expects Crabtree to be focused, too. "It's another game for him. I don't think he's wor- ried about anything else," Kaepernick said. Here are some things to watch for in the first of two matchups between the rivals in the next three weeks: TWO GAMES IN THREE WEEKS Seattle coach Pete Carroll is embracing how the schedule worked out, with two late-season matchups against the ri- val Niners in a three-week span. Two teams that have captured the past three NFC West crowns need to keep winning, though Car- roll insists these games are intense regardless of re- cords or standings. "We'd still be playing these games as champi- onship games the way we look at it," Carroll said. "If we were here and our re- cord was different than it is, we would play every one of these games like it's the last game we get to play all year. "That's how we do it. ... We would never look for some cushy way into the playoffs. We don't want to be a playoff team, we want to be a division champion. So we're going to continue to fight for that as long as there's hope." BEASTMODEBOUNCEBACK? Marshawn Lynch man- aged just 39 yards on 15 carries in a 19-3 win against Arizona on Sunday, and needs to get his body healed up in a hurry. Quar- terback Russell Wilson out- gained him. His troublesome sore back has hindered him this season. Lynch ran for 124 yards the previous week fac- ing the Chiefs and 140 the game before that against the Giants. 49ers coach Jim Har- baugh, for one, is counting on Lynch's best. "'Beast Mode,' I've heard him referred to that com- plimentary," Harbaugh said. "Hard. Aggressive. Tough runner. Talented." BOLDIN'S HANDS Anquan Boldin has 86 receptions for 1,091 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games against Seattle, including the playoffs. Seattle's secondary will have its hands full. Boldin has at least five catches in each of his past six games, and had nine for 137 yards in last week's win against Washington. BOWMAN NO GO NaVorro Bowman certainly hoped to be back by now, in time to face Seattle again. He went down with a devastat- ing left knee injury in the NFC title game and needed surgery. While his 21-day win- dow to be activated is into its second week, Harbaugh said the 2013 All-Pro still wasn't ready to practice and would continue with his rehab. "I wouldn't say disap- pointing is the word. Ob- viously we want to have him back on the field, but it has to be when he's ready, when he's healthy," Kaepe- rnick said. APSportsWriterTim Booth in Seattle contrib- uted to this report. 49ers FROM PAGE 1 "We could not believe how much more fun those little somethings — the panda heads — brought to every San Franciscan's life," Li wrote. "For that, we felt the best. We have stuck those heads out of our car windows after games, and every single San Francis- can on the street brought a wide grin and joy. It is only a very small something, not more than say bring- ing a jacket to a game, but it touches so many people on so many levels, and in a lot of cases, changes peo- ple's life. It is wonderful." Li said the group hopes to donate one of the panda heads to the Giants with the idea that it could be placed in the clubhouse or somewhere special in the ballpark to remember Sandoval's contributions to World Series title teams in 2010, '12 and '14. Li termed the head "part of Giants' history." Sandoval, a free-swing- ing, switch-hitting third baseman, was MVP of the 2012 Series sweep of De- troit after a three-homer game in the opener. Sandoval wasn't even Li's favorite Giants player. That distinction goes to catcher Buster Posey, and the group wore Posey jer- seys along with the panda heads. "Everyone asked, 'Why 28 jersey with panda?' We always answered, 'We are here for the team,'" Li said. "It is teamwork, and the Giants have better team- work than any other base- ball team." Li said part of the plea- sure of wearing the panda heads has been to support the Giants without mak- ing their identities known. Some of the group also wore fake facial hair dur- ing the "Fear the Beard" movement when bushy- bearded closer Brian Wil- son worked the ninth in- ning for San Francisco. The only other mem- ber of the group Li identi- fied by name was Jessen, president of Wally's Wine Auctions in New York. Li said he and his friends at- tended every postseason game during each World Series run. "We must have about 10 different friends of ours inside a panda head at games, in some rotations," Li said. "(Michael) is a Yan- kees fan, naturally, but the Giants are his National League team and West Coast team, so it fit well to his passion for the Yankees. Other friends are more shy like myself." They have enjoyed get- ting to know Sandoval and wish him well. But they are loyal to the orange and black and don't have a trip planned to Fenway Park to catch Sandoval in a Red Sox uniform next year. "Good luck to Pablo, and we will watch Boston with interest," Li said. "Nothing more. We will not cheer for any other player than in Gi- ants' jerseys. We will have to find something else to bring that dimension back to the game. We will retire the panda heads." Panda FROM PAGE 1 after Romo rallied them past the New York Giants 31-28 with a late touch- down pass to Dez Bryant. The 34-year-old Romo has 22 touchdowns and three interceptions since throwing three intercep- tions in the first half of the opener against San Fran- cisco. He's had a quarter- back rating of at least 135 in three of the past four games. "He doesn't look like he has any back issues," Ea- gles coach Chip Kelly said. For Sanchez, the ques- tion is more about rust than rest. After missing all of last season with a shoul- der injury, he will make his fourth start since Nick Foles went down with a bro- ken collarbone. Sanchez has 985 yards passing and five touchdowns with four inter- ceptions in three starts. In his four games, he's already matched Romo's intercep- tion total of six. "The one thing with Mark that I think every- body forgets is he missed an entire year last year, and he's only played 3 games for us so far this year," Kelly said. "There's still a growing process for him within our system." Cowboys FROM PAGE 1 to complete a season sweep in 2013. That put Detroit at 6-3, but the Lions dropped six of their last seven games to miss the postseason. So this year's 7-2 start did not guarantee any- thing. Chicago (5-6) appeared to be out of the playoff chase when it gave up more than 50 points to New Eng- land and Green Bay in back-to-back games. Since then, however, the Bears have beaten Minnesota and Tampa Bay. After facing the Li- ons this week, Chicago will play three of its last four at home. The postseason is still a major longshot, but the worst may be over for the Bears. "I think that's really a credit to our coaches and our players that we were able to put things behind us and go back to work," Chicago coach Marc Trest- man said. "The one thing that has been consistent with our football team up to this point is, whether we've won or lost, our guys have gone back and worked. You really don't know during the week whether we had won or lost the last game." PROTECTING STAFFORD Detroit's pass protection has been one reason Staf- ford has had a hard time finding a groove this sea- son. He's been sacked 33 times, three short of his career high.
