The Seattle Seahawks finally started playing complementary football during the third quarter of Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers. Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba scored a 16-yard touchdown to retake the lead after cornerback Nehemiah Pritchett continued his breakout 2026 season with an interception off quarterback Brock Purdy.

The Seahawks’ iron will was tested right before and after halftime, as running back George Holani fumbled in the end zone with just 18 seconds left in the first half, leading to a 49ers touchdown. On the opening
drive of the second half, quarterback Sam Darnold threw an interception that led to a 49ers field goal attempt. However, the same culture Hard Knocks praised this offseason kept them together through the fire they just dealt with. That’s the reason they’re winning right now.
