San Francisco 49ers Edge Past Seattle Seahawks in Defensive Duel at Lumen Field

The San Francisco 49ers kicked off their season with a narrow victory over the Seattle Seahawks, finishing with a record of 1-0 and a scoreline of 17-13. The Seahawks, on the other hand, started their campaign with a loss, standing at 0-1.

First Quarter

The game began with both teams showcasing strong defensive plays. The Niners' defense was particularly effective in forcing turnovers. Nick Bosa emerged as a key player for the visitors, recording one sack and recovering a fumble that set the tone early on. His performance was instrumental in keeping the Hawks' offense at bay.

Second Quarter

As the second quarter unfolded, Brock Purdy led San Francisco's offensive charge. Purdy completed 26 out of his 35 pass attempts for an impressive total of 277 yards and two touchdowns despite throwing two interceptions. George Kittle contributed significantly by catching one touchdown pass while Ricky Pearsall made crucial receptions totaling 108 yards.

Third Quarter

In this period, Christian McCaffrey demonstrated his versatility by rushing for 69 yards on 22 attempts and securing six first downs for his team. Meanwhile, Fred Warner anchored the defense with eight combined tackles and one tackle for loss as they continued to stifle Seattle's offensive efforts.

Fourth Quarter

The final quarter saw Jake Moody successfully convert one field goal attempt from beyond thirty yards but also had another blocked by Seattle’s special teams unit which kept tensions high until time expired. Despite these challenges faced during special teams play throughout this matchup against their division rivals - it was ultimately enough to secure victory thanks largely due diligence shown across all phases including defensive stops made late into proceedings when needed most!
