Thanks to help from the Los Angeles Rams, the San Francisco 49ers have a prime opportunity to create some separation in the NFC West.
With the Seahawks losing on a last-second field goal in Los Angeles and the 49ers topping the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at home, San Francisco can claim a two-game advantage over its divisional foes in Week 12.
But that game is rapidly approaching, as the 49ers will take part in one of the three games on Thanksgiving: Thursday Night Football.
The 49ers will be on the road in Seattle, a place they won 21-13 last season with Brock Purdy starting. So he'll be familiar with the atmosphere in what's expected to be a heated affair after the Seahawks dropped to 6-4.

5 key players to watch in 49ers-Seahawks Thanksgiving game
QB Brock Purdy, 49ers: Purdy posted a rare complete passer rating in franchise history versus Tampa Bay, so he'll be expected to continue that momentum against a tougher secondary in Seattle. He passed the test with flying colors last year, but the Seahawks have improved on the margins in that regard.
QB Geno Smith, Seahawks: Smith is dealing with an elbow injury he suffered versus Los Angeles. Head coach Pete Carroll anticipates Smith will be fine, but the 49ers will need to make him feel uncomfortable and prevent him from finding his rhythm to improve their chances.
S Ji'Ayir Brown, 49ers: With starting safety Talanoa Hufanga out for the season with a torn ACL, rookie Ji'Ayir Brown will need to step up and play at a high level. He excelled with several standout plays against Tampa Bay, most notably getting a pick in the end zone, but Seattle will definitely target him to test his abilities.
DE Leonard Williams, Seahawks: Boye Mafe leads the team in sacks with seven, but the Seahawks are looking for a breakout game from their big trade deadline acquisition. Williams has one sack in three games with his new team. Can he shine under the lights and pressure Purdy?
DE Chase Young, 49ers: Young is getting more and more comfortable with the defense, logging half a sack versus Jacksonville and a full sack last time out. Can he continue his steady ascension and get home on Smith multiple times? It'd be quite the statement if he could.
