In a tightly contested battle, the San Francisco 49ers topped the Seattle Seahawks 22-13 in Week 5 of the 2026 season. This win keeps the 49ers firmly in playoff contention as they continue to build momentum in their campaign. The 49ers' offense was led by quarterback Cam Ward, who threw for 245 yards, showcasing his ability to stretch the field effectively. Running back Jahmyr Gibbs was a standout on the ground, racking up 146 rushing yards and providing a consistent threat throughout the game. Wide receiver Makai Lemon also contributed significantly, finishing with 88 receiving yards, helping to keep the Seahawks' defense on its toes. Defensively, the 49ers were bolstered by Devin Lloyd's crucial interception, which stifled a promising Seahawks drive in the second half and shifted the game’s momentum. Despite Seattle's Nnamdi Madubuike recording two sacks and Tyrique Stevenson leading the team with ten tackles, they couldn't overcome the 49ers' balanced attack. The turning point came late in the third quarter when the 49ers' defense forced a turnover, allowing them to extend their lead and ultimately secure the victory.
