SAN FRANCISCO — This is the live blog for the third quarter of the 49ers’ Week 14 game against the Seahawks. I’ll update this frequently with information and analysis from the press box.

3:09 James returns the kickoff to the 49ers’ 18.

3:11 On third-and-2 from the 26, Kaepernick hits Crabtree for a first down. The 49ers strip Crabtree but the refs rule his progress stopped. Big break for the 49ers. Bad call. First and 10 at the 39.
