San Francisco 49ers defeat Seattle Seahawks 32-29 to remain undefeated
The San Francisco 49ers extended their undefeated season to 5-0 with a 32-29 victory over the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. The game was marked by high intensity, seven combined turnovers, and a controversial late-game decision where Seattle's Cooper Kupp was ruled short of a first down on fourth down.
San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy led the offense, throwing two touchdowns, including a decisive strike to Brandin Cooks in the fourth quarter. Kicker Eddy Piñeiro secured the win with a 44-yard field goal with 1:56 remaining. The 49ers' defense also recorded five sacks against Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold.
In a significant disciplinary development, 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw was suspended for one game by the NFL. The suspension follows his ejection during the second quarter after he headbutted Seahawks linebacker Ernest Jones IV on the sidelines. The incident occurred after Greenlaw was penalized for a late hit on Darnold. Greenlaw's actions were deemed by the league to be “contrary to the generally understood principles of sportsmanship.”
