49ers Defeat Seahawks 23-17 in Thriller

In a thrilling contest, the San Francisco 49ers established a strong lead of 23-3 early in the third quarter, bolstered by a touchdown from George Kittle. However, the Seattle Seahawks mounted a comeback with two consecutive touchdowns from Laviska Shenault Jr. and Kenneth Walker, narrowing the score to 23-17. The Seahawks' struggle included a poor first-half performance marred by turnovers and penalties, particularly a fumble by Shenault that set up a 49ers score. Despite the 49ers' special teams allowing a 97-yard touchdown return to Seattle, the game remained competitive heading into the final quarter. As the Seahawks sought to overcome their two-game losing streak, their performance across all phases of the game raised concerns among fans.
