49ers win a thriller over the Seahawks to remain undefeated

The San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks delivered a high-octane first half at Lumen Field, with neither team able to establish a clear rhythm early. Seattle’s offense sputtered after a strong start, including a 38-yard gain by Jaxon Smith-Njigba and a 16-yard screen pass that set up a touchdown by Emmanuel Wilson to tie the game at 7–7.

The 49ers capitalized on turnovers, including a forced fumble by Gracen Halton that led to a touchdown and a 21–13 lead by halftime. Seattle’s defense struggled to contain Brock Purdy, who connected with Mike Evans for key gains, while Seattle’s offense faced early setbacks, including a muffed punt by Jacob Cowing and a missed field goal attempt by Jason Myers that left the Seahawks trailing by eight points at the break.

The back-and-forth nature of the game saw both teams trade punts and capitalize on defensive stops, with Seattle’s Cooper Kupp nearly breaking free before being contained by Deommodore Lenoir. The 49ers’ ability to turn short fields into points, including a Christian McCaffrey touchdown, highlighted their offensive efficiency, while Seattle’s late drive stalled after Keion White’s tackle for loss preserved the lead.
