49ers Beat Seahawks 32-29 as Seattle Commits 4 Turnovers

3 articles · Updated · Yahoo Sports · Oct 12

Summary

  • Four Seattle turnovers — three deep in its own territory — swung a 32-29 loss that the Seahawks nearly erased on their final drive before an inconclusive replay upheld Cooper Kupp short of the line.
  • San Francisco repeatedly cashed in on the mistakes, turning short fields into three touchdowns and surviving its own sloppy moments, including Brock Purdy's interception, Deebo Samuel's fumble and Dre Greenlaw's ejection.
  • Brock Purdy still engineered the decisive late sequence, and Eddy Pineiro's 43-yard field goal with 1:56 left put the 49ers ahead for good after Mike Evans fueled the go-ahead march.
  • Seattle fell to 3-2 and 1.5 games back in the division, with another quick turnaround looming Thursday against Denver and ball security emerging as the central problem.
