49ers Beat Seahawks 32-29, Improve to 5-0 Against Defending Champs The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 32-29 at Lumen Field, overcoming four lead changes and two ties with a dominant defensive performance that produced seven takeaways. The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 32-29 on Sunday at Lumen Field, improving to 5-0 against the defending Super Bowl champions. The game featured four lead changes, two ties, seven takeaways and one ejection. Purdy Drives 49ers To VictorySan Francisco now sits firmly in command of the NFC West. Brock Purdy took over trailing late in the third quarter and drove the 49ers down the field on a methodical 12-play drive. He found Brandin Cooks in the back of the end zone for a touchdown, then threw a 2-point conversion to Mike Evans. Purdy completed passes to Evans for 75 yards on the drive as the 49ers overcame a first-and-20 on their first play and an 11-yard penalty.That was the one drive that got us going, coach Kyle Shanahan said after the win. Until that point, the 49ers had failed to mount a scoring drive of more than four plays. Evans finished with seven catches for 113 yards, both team-highs and personal-bests this season, despite being only two weeks removed from breaking his ribs.Renardo Green picked off a pair of passes, Fred Warner forced one fumble and Gracen Halton knocked out another that he recovered in the end zone. All of the 49ers first 21 points came off turnovers. Green jumped Jaxon Smith-Njigba's route for his first interception and came down with a second, his third this season, on Sam Darnold's first pass of the second half.Turnovers Fuel Niners DominanceWe didn't know how many turnovers we were going to get, but we knew we were going to get our opps this game, said Green, who was benched on the 49ers last visit in January. It was up to us to capitalize on every opp we get to win the game. We just didn't know how many.Halton recovered the fumble he forced out of George Holani's hands in the end zone to put the 49ers on top 21-13 in the closing seconds of the first half. It was the third takeaway of the half, matching the 49ers total in four prior games. The Seahawks had allowed their opponents to put up 24 points off turnovers in their past two games.Fred Warner played a pivotal role at the heart of the 49ers defense, punching the ball out of Emmanual Wilson's arms for their second of three first-half takeaways. Warner led the 49ers with 10 tackles to go with his 20th career forced fumble, the most in franchise history. He played the second half without Dre Greenlaw, who was ejected for head-butting a Seahawk after delivering a late hit on Darnold.Evans And Warner Stand OutPurdy completed just two of his first seven pass attempts, both of which threaded the needle into the hands of Evans. The first went for one of the 49ers two third-down conversions on seven chances in the first half. The second put the Niners first six points on the scoreboard. Obviously, he's a game-changer, Purdy said of Evans.He can make defenses pay, and I thought today he did a great job of that, going up to get the ball multiple times. The 49ers defense wreaked havoc on Seattle's passing attack, dropping Darnold five times. The offensive line also performed admirably, protecting Purdy and opening lanes for the run game. Christian McCaffrey powered through for an 11-yard touchdown.The win was the 49ers first at Lumen Field since 2018. The 49ers were flagged for holding on Trent Williams and Dominic Puni, a rollicking crowd of 68,684 forced a false start and Greenlaw was ejected after drawing a personal foul. Evans proved all the more important with George Kittle feeling like s- with flu-like symptoms, in the words of Shanahan, and Deebo Samuel leaving with a hamstring injury.Rivalry Highlights And Momentum GainsCooks, a childhood 49ers fan, got quite the introduction to his first game inside the rivalry. You definitely see it from afar over the years, he said, but to be a part of it was definitely fun. The evenly matched NFC West foes traded leads four times and tied the score two other times. The largest advantage either team took was 21-13 after Halton's recovery.Warner was still recovering from a broken ankle and Evans was still under contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the 49ers 41-6 loss here almost nine months ago. The reinforcements proved to be the difference against the Super Bowl champs on their home turf. With this win, the 49ers gain momentum as they prepare for their upcoming matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
