Brock Purdy engineered two fourth-quarter scoring drives as the San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 32-29 on Sunday. Eddy Pineiro kicked the go-ahead 43-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining to cap the comeback.
The victory improved the 49ers to 5-0 on the season, marking the third time in eight years they have started with five straight wins. It also provided a measure of revenge for two late-season losses to Seattle in 2025, including a 41-6 playoff defeat.
The game featured an NFL season-high seven combined turnovers and the ejection of 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw. Neither team managed a touchdown drive longer than 25 yards until San Francisco took over trailing 26-21 late in the third quarter.
Purdy responded with a 7-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks and a two-point conversion to Mike Evans to put San Francisco ahead 29-26. After Sam Darnold drove Seattle to a tying field goal, Purdy led a 43-yard march for Pineiro's winner.
Seattle had a final chance, but Jaxon Smith-Njigba dropped a third-down pass and Cooper Kupp was stopped a yard short on fourth down by Malik Mustapha. Purdy finished 19-of-29 for 189 yards with two touchdowns and one interception.
San Francisco's defense created the first-half advantage. Renardo Green's two interceptions set up short touchdown drives, including a Christian McCaffrey scoring run after a fumble recovery at the Seattle 11-yard line.
