First Quarter


The opening quarter saw both teams struggling to find their rhythm offensively. The Niners' defense, led by Tatum Bethune and his impressive sack for an 11-yard loss, managed to keep the Hawks from scoring early on. However, despite their defensive efforts, San Francisco's offense couldn't capitalize on opportunities and remained scoreless.


Second Quarter


As the second quarter unfolded, Seattle began to gain momentum. Their offensive line provided solid protection for their quarterback, allowing them to break through San Francisco's defense. The Hawks managed to put points on the board with a field goal that gave them an early lead. Meanwhile, Brock Purdy of the Niners completed several passes but was unable to convert them into touchdowns due in part to strong coverage by Seattle’s secondary.


Third Quarter


In what could be described as one of the game-changing plays San Francisco 49ers vs Seattle Seahawks witnessed during this period was when Eddy Pineiro successfully kicked a field goal from 48 yards out for San Francisco’s only points of the game. Despite this effort from Pineiro and some notable receptions by George Kittle and Jauan Jennings, who combined for over half of Purdy’s passing yards that day (64 out of total), it wasn't enough against Seattle’s relentless pressure.


Fourth Quarter


The final quarter saw increased intensity from both sides but ultimately favored Seattle as they extended their lead further with another touchdown drive that sealed their win over San Francisco convincingly at home turf advantage - leaving fans pondering post-game thoughts about how things might have been different if certain key plays had gone differently throughout earlier stages instead!
