On a day full of wild finishes, the 49ers and Seahawks are setting the stage for another one.

Already on Sunday Night Football, we’ve had a blocked punt that may or may not have been caused by a whistle in the crowd, and a Colin Kaepernick interception.

It’s deafening at CenturyLink Field as they try to set a Guinness record for noise, and the din may have contributed to the Seahawks having a punt blocked. Several of their players appeared to stand up at once, allowing the 49ers an easy block.

But Seahawks safety Earl Thomas kept it from mattering, catching a tipped pass for an interception.

This has the makings of a wild one, which is only right at the end of a wild day.
