In a decisive Week 5 matchup, the Seattle Seahawks topped the San Francisco 49ers with a commanding 35-7 victory, solidifying their position in the playoff race. The Seahawks showcased their dominance, leaving the 49ers looking for answers as the season progresses. Brock Purdy put up a respectable performance for San Francisco, throwing for 211 yards and connecting on one touchdown pass, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Seattle's offensive onslaught. Meanwhile, Zach Charbonnet led the ground game for the Seahawks with 59 rushing yards, while the receiving corps thrived, putting pressure on the 49ers' secondary throughout the game. Seattle's defense played a pivotal role in the outcome, highlighted by DeMarcus Lawrence's three sacks that consistently disrupted Purdy's rhythm. The turning point came late in the second quarter when Terrion Arnold intercepted a pass, setting up a quick score that shifted momentum firmly in Seattle's favor. The combination of offensive execution and defensive prowess proved too much for San Francisco to overcome.
