QB Blaine Gabbert to make second start with 49ers after leading them to win over Atlanta two weeks ago. Gabbert was 15 of 25 for 185 yards and two touchdowns in first start since Oct. 6, 2013 with Jacksonville. ... Gabbert has never played against Seahawks. ...

CB Richard Sherman has gone 10 straight regular-season games without interception dating to last season, longest drought of his career. ...

Put those factors together and expect big game from Beast Mode.
