Seattle Seahawks Edge Past San Francisco 49ers in Thrilling 20-17 Victory
The Seattle Seahawks achieved a dramatic 20-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in a closely contested NFC West matchup on November 17, 2024. The win not only snapped a six-game losing streak against the 49ers but also kept Seattle’s playoff hopes alive.
Geno Smith led the Seahawks down the field on an 80-yard drive, culminating in a 13-yard touchdown run with just 12 seconds remaining in regulation. This late-game heroics helped Seattle improve to a 5-5 record, placing them in a three-way tie for second place in the NFC West alongside San Francisco and the Los Angeles Rams, all of whom share identical records.
Throughout the game, both teams displayed moments of offensive struggle. The 49ers initially took the lead with a 10-yard touchdown run from quarterback Brock Purdy in the first quarter, while Seattle responded with field goals from kicker Jason Myers.
In the fourth quarter, San Francisco regained a brief lead at 17-13 after Purdy connected with Jauan Jennings for a touchdown. However, the 49ers were unable to maintain their advantage, as Seattle’s defense executed crucial stops at key moments. Despite a late fourth-down stop by the 49ers that left them with a chance to close out the game, they could not run out the clock.
In addition to Smith’s game-winning drive, Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as a primary target for Seattle, finishing with 10 catches for 110 yards. Meanwhile, Purdy completed 21 of 28 passes for 159 yards, throwing for one touchdown and one interception. He was complemented by a solid performance from running back Christian McCaffrey, who accumulated 106 yards from scrimmage.
San Francisco’s defense was hampered by injuries, most notably the absence of star edge rusher Nick Bosa, who left the game due to a hip injury. Coach Kyle Shanahan expressed frustration over the team’s inability to close out the game, lamenting missed opportunities that led to the heartbreaking loss.
Looking ahead, the Seahawks will host the Arizona Cardinals next week, while the 49ers prepare for a matchup against the Green Bay Packers. The tight NFC West race continues, with each team’s playoff aspirations hanging in the balance.
