Brock Purdy 'Pretty Unbelievable' as Seahawks Dumped By 49ers: Live Game Log
The Seattle Seahawks were set to take on an NFC West foe at home in the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night. ... but it did not work out well.
At all.
Unheralded rookie quarterback Brock Purdy played hurt (oblique injury), with San Francisco coach Kyle Shanahan ready to pull him at any time ... but Purdy threw a pair of touchdown passes to George Kittle, and the 49ers won their first NFC West title since 2019, beating the Seahawks 21-13.
“We were going to see how long he'd last and we were ready to go with (backup) Josh (Johnson),” Shanahan said. “But he just got comfortable and got better as the game went on.
"It’s pretty unbelievable.”
Seattle dropped to 7-7 and lost for the fourth time in five games and its playoff hopes took another hit.
Follow along as it unfolded ...
This season has been rather streaky for the Seahawks, as they have lost three out of their last four games following a four-game winning streak. Those three losses all came to teams with a below .500 record which is not ideal for Seattle.
Now, the Seahawks sit at 7-6 and are fighting to keep their playoff hopes alive on Thursday. While a loss doesn't eliminate the Seahawks from the playoff picture entirely, it does lessen their chances and will result in the 49ers winning the division.
Making life easier for the Seahawks on offense will be the availability of Kenneth Walker III, as the rookie running back is cleared to play and ready to go for Seattle.
