The Seattle Seahawks will look to bounce back from their Week 2 performance when they host the San Francisco 49ers Sunday at CenturyLink Field.

Chip Kelly's squad blew out the Los Angeles Rams in Week 1 before falling to the Carolina Panthers in Week 2.

The Seahawks' offense, which has scored just 15 points in two games, will look to get on track. The defense, which has allowed just 19 points, will look to keep things going against Blaine Gabbert and company.

To help get a scouting report on the 49ers, here are six players to watch, courtesy of ESPN’s 49ers reporter Nick Wagoner.

OFFENSE

QB Blaine Gabbert: Among the 33 quarterbacks to start a game through Monday night, Gabbert ranked 30th in the NFL in passer rating (74.4), 32nd in yards per attempt (5.82), 31st in yards per drop back (5.68) and 31st in completion percentage (54.9). Kelly plans to stick with Gabbert for now, but the 49ers need him to be more consistent with his accuracy for this passing game to take positive steps forward.

RB Carlos Hyde: Hyde was hard on himself after a rough outing against Carolina last week in which he carried 14 times for 34 yards and coughed up a fumble for a touchdown. Hyde is well aware that as he goes, so goes the 49ers' offense, and if he can't get going this week, it will be another long day at the office. In three games against Seattle, Hyde has averaged 5.18 ypc on 22 attempts, including 55 yards on six attempts in Seattle in 2014. He didn't play the Seahawks last year.

TE Vance McDonald: McDonald hasn't produced much in the way of catches or yards, but he sure has made the most of the three touches he's had. He has three catches for 89 yards and two touchdowns in the first two weeks. Kelly has said he'd like to get McDonald more involved moving forward, and that could start this week.

DEFENSE

LB Ahmad Brooks: Really, this could be any of the Niners edge rushers, including Eli Harold and Tank Carradine. But the bottom line is, the 49ers must generate more of a pass rush this week than they did against Carolina. With Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson nursing a sprained ankle, he's unlikely to make the 49ers pay with his legs as much as he has in the past. He's going to be in the pocket more, and Brooks is the Niners' most accomplished pass-rusher with seven career sacks against the Seahawks.

CB Jimmie Ward: Ward had a tough week against Carolina's oversized receiver Kelvin Benjamin. Despite remaining sticky in coverage, Benjamin often used his height to make plays over Ward. This week will offer a different challenge, especially if Ward moves into the slot to cover Doug Baldwin. Baldwin is a tough cover inside, and Ward should see the likes of Tyler Lockett on the outside, not to mention tight end Jimmy Graham. Ward has played well early in the season but will need a bounce back here.

LB Gerald Hodges: The 49ers lost inside linebacker Ray-Ray Armstrong to a pectoral injury earlier this week, leaving that job in the hands of Hodges and Michael Wilhoite. Armstrong seemed to emerge as the player of the three to earn the most snaps in opening weeks and had earned praise from defensive coordinator Jim O'Neil for his work. Hodges will have to be on point to deal with Seattle running back Christine Michael, who is averaging 5.04 ypc and has been difficult to bring down, which puts the onus on the likes of Hodges to bring him down and prevent yards after contact.
