In a game with significant division implications, the Seahawks were able to maintain their momentum and improve their standing in the NFC West. San Francisco, meanwhile, struggled to generate consistent offense against a stout Seattle defense. Sam Darnold led the charge for the Seahawks, throwing for 302 yards and two touchdowns, showcasing his ability to manage the game efficiently. His top target was Cooper Kupp, who racked up an impressive 141 receiving yards, consistently finding seams in the 49ers' secondary. On the ground, Jadarian Price added balance to Seattle’s attack with 98 rushing yards, keeping the San Francisco defense on its heels throughout the contest. Defensively, Seattle was anchored by Ernest Jones IV, who tallied 10 tackles, and Leonard Williams, who dominated with 2.5 sacks. The Seahawks' defense stifled the 49ers' offensive efforts and created pivotal stops. A key turning point came in the second half when Williams sacked the 49ers’ quarterback on a crucial third down, forcing a punt and allowing Seattle to extend their lead, effectively sealing the game.
