In a thrilling showdown, Geno Smith led the Seattle Seahawks to a 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, ending a three-season losing streak against their rivals. Smith, who had struggled against the 49ers in the past, showcased resilience by throwing for 221 yards and rushing for a game-winning touchdown.
Seattle's defense, highlighted by Johnathan Hankins' first career interception and strong performances from linebackers Ernest Jones and Tyrice Knight, effectively contained star running back Christian McCaffrey.
Despite the win, the Seahawks acknowledged areas needing improvement, particularly in short-yardage situations and third-down defense.
