49ers Defeat Seahawks Behind Rookie Contributions

The Seattle Seahawks are using their mini-bye to assess their rookie class after a 3-3 start, highlighting players like DT Byron Murphy II, who has shown promise but is sidelined due to injury. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Chargers are looking to their rookie class to step up following injuries as they prepare for their game against the Denver Broncos. In contrast, the San Francisco 49ers relied heavily on their rookies in a comeback victory over the Seahawks, with standout performances from running back Isaac Guerendo and cornerback Renardo Green. Guerendo's decisive 76-yard run and Green's crucial interception were pivotal in sealing the 36-24 win. Additionally, undrafted defensive tackle Evan Anderson received the highest grade from Pro Football Focus for his impactful performance, demonstrating the depth of the 49ers' rookie contributions. Although the 49ers had success, they still need to address ongoing special teams issues.
