Brock Purdy leads 2 late scoring drives to deliver a 32-29 win for the 49ers over the Seahawks
Purdy finished with 189 yards and two touchdowns as San Francisco improved to 5-0 after a turnover-filled game.
On Sunday, the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 32-29, securing the win with a 43-yard field goal by kicker Eddy Pineiro with 1:56 remaining.
The physical contest featured an NFL season-high seven combined turnovers, with 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw ejected for head-butting Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones during a sideline altercation.
49ers quarterback Brock Purdy led the offense with 19-of-29 passing for 189 yards and two touchdowns, while wide receiver Mike Evans dominated with seven catches for 113 yards and one touchdown.
Seattle's comeback attempt stalled when officials ruled wide receiver Cooper Kupp short of the first down on a fourth-and-10 catch, with replay upholding the decision and effectively ending the game.
With the victory, the undefeated 49ers improved to 5-0 and will host the Washington Commanders next Monday, while the 3-2 Seahawks prepare for their Thursday night visit to Denver.
