The San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks went head-to-head in Thursday Night Football, both teams tied for the NFC West lead with a 3-3 record. The game was filled with turnovers, and these mistakes made all the difference. The 49ers jumped out to a 23-3 lead but then saw the Seahawks come back with 14 unanswered points. It was the kind of game that had fans on the edge of their seats. Early in the game, the Seahawks had a chance to score, but Geno Smith threw an interception right near the 49ers' end zone. Later, a muffed punt by Seattle's Dee Williams was missed by officials, which could have given the 49ers another chance to score. Despite these early misses, the 49ers held onto their lead.
The Seahawks tried to make a comeback, and they almost did. With under 5 minutes left, DK Metcalf caught a long pass from Smith, but a penalty on the Seahawks negated the score. They finally scored a touchdown with just over a minute left, but the 49ers had already sealed the deal. 49ers rookie Renardo Green made a big interception late in the game, setting up a touchdown that put the 49ers ahead for good. And when Isaac Guerendo ran for 76 yards on the very next play, it was clear the Seahawks' chances were over. The final score was 36-24, with the 49ers winning thanks to turnovers and a strong performance from rookies like Green and Guerendo. These two teams are now looking ahead to their next games, with the 49ers facing the Chiefs and Cowboys next.
