In a tightly contested NFC West showdown, the Seattle Seahawks topped the San Francisco 49ers with a final score of 17-10. This victory not only secures Seattle's place in the playoff race but also solidifies their dominance in the division as they look to build on their momentum moving forward in the 2026 season. Quarterback Sam Darnold led the way for the Seahawks, throwing for 280 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to connect with playmakers. Wide receiver Cooper Kupp emerged as his favorite target, racking up 86 receiving yards and making crucial catches to keep drives alive. On the ground, Seattle's offense was complemented by a balanced attack that kept San Francisco's defense on its heels. Defensively, the Seahawks were formidable, with Nick Emmanwori leading the charge with seven total tackles, ensuring that the 49ers struggled to find rhythm. The turning point came when Ernest Jones IV intercepted a crucial pass in the fourth quarter, halting a San Francisco drive and preserving Seattle's lead. Meanwhile, the 49ers' Nick Bosa remained a force with 2.5 sacks, but it wasn't enough to overcome the Seahawks' resilient performance.
