The San Francisco 49ers secured a 36-24 victory over the Seattle Seahawks in a thrilling division showdown led by quarterback Brock Purdy. Purdy showcased his talent by throwing for 255 yards and three touchdowns, earning praise from his teammate Deebo Samuel.
Samuel, who had an impressive 76-yard catch-and-run touchdown, highlighted Purdy’s impact on the team’s success. The defending NFC champions improved to a 3-3 record, tying the Seahawks for first place in the NFC West.
In addition to Purdy’s stellar performance, George Kittle contributed significantly with five receptions for 58 yards and two touchdowns. The dynamic duo of Kittle and Purdy proved to be a formidable force against the Seahawks, securing their sixth consecutive win against the division rivals.
Despite a valiant effort from Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, who passed for 312 yards and a touchdown, the team struggled to overcome the 49ers’ defense. Two interceptions hampered Seattle’s momentum, resulting in their third consecutive loss under first-year coach Mike Macdonald.
The game saw several key moments, including Laviska Shenault Jr.’s 97-yard kickoff return for a touchdown and Kenneth Walker III’s rushing touchdown that brought the Seahawks within striking distance. However, San Francisco’s resilience and Purdy’s leadership ultimately sealed the victory.
The 49ers’ ability to finish strong was exemplified by late-game touchdowns from Kyle Juszczyk and Isaac Guerendo. Coach Purdy emphasized the team’s commitment to scoring when it matters most, a skill that has been a focus for the team throughout the season.
Seattle’s struggles with the running game persisted, with the team managing only 52 yards on the ground. Despite efforts to rally in the second half, the Seahawks fell short against a determined 49ers squad.
Looking ahead, the 49ers are set to face the Kansas City Chiefs in a Super Bowl rematch, while the Seahawks will take on the Atlanta Falcons. Both teams will aim to bounce back from their recent performances and continue their quest for divisional dominance.
As the season progresses, the rivalry between the 49ers and the Seahawks promises more exciting matchups and fierce competition. Fans can look forward to intense showdowns as these two teams battle for supremacy in the NFC West.
