In a commanding performance, the San Francisco 49ers topped the Seattle Seahawks 48-21 on Sunday, solidifying their place in the playoff picture as the 2026 season approaches its midpoint. With this Week 5 victory, the 49ers showcased their offensive prowess, making a strong case for their championship aspirations. Brock Purdy was the standout performer for San Francisco, throwing for an impressive 409 yards and five touchdowns, displaying pinpoint accuracy and decision-making throughout the game. Christian McCaffrey also made his mark on the ground, racking up 149 rushing yards, effectively controlling the tempo and keeping the Seahawks' defense on its heels. Meanwhile, Jaxon Smith-Njigba put together a remarkable performance for Seattle, accumulating 186 receiving yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with the dominant 49ers. Defensively, the 49ers made key plays that turned the tide, highlighted by a critical interception from Upton Stout that shifted momentum firmly in San Francisco's favor. Romello Height added pressure to the Seahawks' offense with a sack, contributing to a defensive effort that stifled Seattle's chances for a comeback. The turning point came early in the second half when the 49ers scored quickly after the interception, extending their lead and leaving the Seahawks with a steep hill to climb.
