4 Takeaways From The 49ers' Thrilling Win Over The Seahawks
The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 32-29, maintaining their undefeated record. The game was decided by a late field goal and defensive stops, while the Seahawks struggled with turnovers in their backfield.
Why it matters
This result impacts the standings in the NFL division and highlights ongoing performance issues for the Seahawks' roster.
The 49ers didn’t like the fact that the Seahawks, their hated rival, won the Super Bowl last season on their home field, Levi’s Stadium. San Francisco can’t rewrite that history. But Sunday, it took down its division foe on their home turf. The Niners (5-0) stayed undefeated with their 32-29 win Sunday over the Seahawks (3-2) at Lumen Field. It was a thrilling finish, with San Francisco kicker Eddy Piñeiro hitting the go-ahead, 44-yard field goal with 1:56 left and the 49ers’ defense able to hold firm on Seattle’s final drive. Star Jaxon Smith-Njigba dropped a deep pass from quarterback Sam Darnold that would’ve set Seattle up in field goal range and fellow receiver Cooper Kupp was inches short of the line to gain on 4th-and-10, which would’ve extended the drive.
