Context

... Need maybe "EXPANDED:" and "CONTEXT:" labels. Good. Potential issue: "top units" in headline: 49ers and Seahawks bring top units. Summary: 49ers' offense against Seahawks' defense, two of NFL's strongest units. Good. Need maybe "Week 5 NFC West clash" and "San Francisco travels to Seattle". Good. Could include "playoff implications" from story topic? Summary says significant implications. We can say "significant implications" but not specify. Good. Need no copying source phrasing. We must avoid exact phrases? "NFC West" is factual, okay. "49ers' offense" and "Seahawks' defense" are factual. "strongest units" maybe source phrase? Summary says "two of the NFL's strongest units." We can rephrase "among the league's top groups" maybe. "important games" source phrase? "recently produced important games" summary. We can say "consequential meetings" to avoid. "significant implications" source phrase. We can say "stakes that extend beyond the final score" maybe. But that's inventing?
