The San Francisco 49ers topped the Seattle Seahawks 33-23 in a crucial Week 12 matchup, solidifying their standing in the playoff race. With both teams vying for postseason positioning, this game was a must-win for the 49ers, who ultimately held off a late rally from Seattle. Brock Purdy shone for San Francisco, throwing for three touchdowns and leading the offense with poise. Joe Mixon added to the offensive firepower, rushing for 108 yards, while Christian Kirk had a phenomenal day receiving, racking up 210 yards and a touchdown, proving to be a constant threat down the field. Sam Darnold of the Seahawks kept pace with a formidable passing performance, amassing 405 yards, but it wasn't enough to secure the victory. Defensively, the 49ers made key stops when it mattered most, particularly during the fourth quarter as the Seahawks attempted to mount a comeback. The turning point came when San Francisco's defense forced a critical turnover, halting Seattle's momentum and allowing the 49ers to maintain their lead. Uchenna Nwosu was a standout for the Seahawks, recording 1.5 sacks, but it was the collective efforts of the 49ers' defense that ultimately secured the win.
