The Seattle Seahawks topped the San Francisco 49ers with a commanding 52-31 victory in Week 5 of the 2026 season. This win not only boosts Seattle’s momentum but also puts them in a strong position within the division as they look to solidify their playoff aspirations. Sam Darnold was the star of the day, throwing for five touchdowns and leading the Seahawks' explosive offense. Meanwhile, Rashid Shaheed had a standout performance, racking up 201 receiving yards and becoming a key target for Darnold throughout the game. Brock Purdy also put up impressive numbers for the 49ers, passing for 320 yards, but it wasn’t enough to keep pace with Seattle's aerial assault. Defensively, the Seahawks made critical plays that turned the tide in their favor. Julian Love's two interceptions set the tone, halting any momentum the 49ers attempted to build. Byron Murphy II added a sack to the mix, while Nick Emmanwori's five tackles helped contain San Francisco's ground game, ensuring that the Seahawks could maintain their lead and secure the victory.
