Purdy Guides 49ers Past Seahawks in Seattle Thriller

The San Francisco 49ers defeated the Seattle Seahawks 32-29 in Seattle on Sunday, Oct. 11, 2026, after Brock Purdy led two fourth-quarter scoring drives and Eddy Pineiro kicked a 43-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining to secure the win.

According to Sportsnet, the 49ers improved to 5-0 while the Seahawks fell to 3-2 in a turnover-filled NFC West matchup that featured seven combined turnovers and a fourth-quarter comeback.

Purdy completed 19 of 29 passes for 189 yards, two touchdowns and one interception, according to Sportsnet. The quarterback helped San Francisco regain the lead after Seattle moved ahead 26-21 late in the third quarter.

The 49ers opened a 21-13 halftime advantage after their defense created early opportunities. Renardo Green recorded an interception that set up an 18-yard scoring drive, while Malik Mustapha recovered a fumble at the Seattle 11-yard line.

Christian McCaffrey scored on the next play after Mustapha's recovery, and Gracen Halton later forced a fumble that he returned for a touchdown after Seattle attempted a run from its own 4-yard line with 18 seconds left in the half.

Purdy's late response included a 28-yard pass to Mike Evans after an intentional grounding penalty created a difficult second-and-21 situation. He then threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Brandin Cooks, giving San Francisco a 29-26 lead after a two-point conversion.

Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold answered with a field goal drive to tie the game before Purdy moved the 49ers 43 yards for Pineiro's winning kick. The Seahawks' final possession ended after Jaxon Smith-Njigba dropped a third-down pass and Malik Mustapha stopped Cooper Kupp short on fourth down.

According to Sportsnet, San Francisco linebacker Dre Greenlaw was ejected in the second quarter after head-butting Seattle's Ernest Jones IV following a late-hit confrontation. Greenlaw was previously flagged for a personal foul during the sequence.

The 49ers also lost Deebo Samuel during the game after he injured his hamstring on the play where he fumbled. San Francisco is scheduled to host Washington on Monday, Oct. 19, while Seattle will visit Denver on Thursday night.
