The Seattle Seahawks pulled off a last-second, 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers to beat the division rival for the first time in three seasons.
Geno Smith‘s go-ahead touchdown run with 12 seconds left gave the Seahawks a lead they wouldn't relinquish. For the second straight week, Jaxon Smith-Njigba came up with a tremendous day, catching 10 of 11 targets for 109 yards and six first downs.
On the other end, Brock Purdy was only okay, completing 22-of-30 passes for just 160 yards, a touchdown, an interception, zero big-time throws and a 64.2 PFF passing grade, pending final review. The 49ers missed Nick Bosa, who played just 26 snaps due to injury.
