In a tightly contested matchup, the Seattle Seahawks held off the San Francisco 49ers with a final score of 27-20 in Week 5 of the 2026 season. With playoff implications looming, both teams were eager to secure a victory, but it was the Seahawks who emerged victorious on their home turf. Sam Darnold led the Seahawks’ offense with a solid performance, throwing for 198 yards and effectively managing the game. Breece Hall was a key contributor on the ground, rushing for 87 yards, while Brock Purdy of the 49ers found the end zone once through the air, but ultimately fell short in his efforts. Christian McCaffrey was held to 48 receiving yards, unable to make a significant impact on the game. Defensively, the Seahawks were bolstered by Jarran Reed, who recorded 1.5 sacks, applying pressure on Purdy throughout the contest. The turning point came late in the fourth quarter when the Seahawks' defense stifled the 49ers' drive, forcing a crucial turnover on downs that sealed the game. Renardo Green led the 49ers with five total tackles, but it was not enough to prevent Seattle from clinching the victory.
