SEATTLE — This is the live blog for the San Francisco 49ers’ Week 6 road game against the Seattle Seahawks. This will be updated frequently with information and analysis from the press box.
4:31 Here are the 49ers’ inactives: Charvarius Ward, Brayden Willis, Jake Moody, Joshua Dobbs, Ben Bartch, Jordan Elliott and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles.
4:33 Here are the Seahawks’ inactives: Riq Woolen, Byron Murphy II, Trevis Gipson, Olu Oluwatimi, Sataoa Laumea, Dareke Young and Myles Adams.
4:35 I’m curious to see how many signifcant changes the 49ers have made since they last played on Sunday against the Cardinals. Because they’ve had just one practice this week and it was a walk through. So how could they have installed new concepts in their red-zone offense? I’m guessing the red-zone issues will persist. If Kyle Shanahan corrects them during a short week, I’ll be impressed.
4:36 I’m also curious to see how the 49ers do against D.K. Metcalf. He has caught more than 100 receiving yards in three of five games this season. I’m guessing he’ll eclipse 100 yards tonight considering he’ll face lots of Isaac Yiadom and Renardo Green.
4:37 I’m also curious to see how the 49ers do against the Seahawks running backs — Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet. This past Sunday, the 49ers run defense wore down in the heat against Cardinals running back James Conner. Walker is at least as good as Conner — maybe better. Definitely more explosive. Probably the best running back in tonight’s game.
5:14 The 49ers win the toss and defer. The Seahawks will receive the opening kickoff.
FIRST QUARTER
5:20 On 3rd and 5 from the 49ers 25, Geno Smith forces a pass to Jaxon Smith-Njigba and gets intercepted by Malik Mustapha. The 49ers take over at their 3-yard line. Smith overthrew the pass and Mustapha covered a ton of ground.
5:32 On 3rd and goal from the 7, Brock Purdy throws a pass to Deebo Samuel running a fade to the back-right pylon and the pass gets broken up by Artie Burns who was just called up from the practice squad. The red-zone offense still stinks. On fourth down, Matthew Wright makes a 21-yard field goal.
49ers 3, Seahawks 0.
5:39 On 3rd and 10 from the Seahawks 25, D.K. Metcalf hears footsteps and drops a pass. After the punt, the 49ers take over at their 23.
5:45 On 3rd and 2 from the 49ers 32, Brock Purdy throws an incomplete pass intended for George Kittle and the 49ers go three and out. After the punt, the Seahawks take over at their 29 with 12 seconds left in the first quarter.
SECOND QUARTER
5:51 On 3rd and 3 from the Seahawks 36, Geno Smith throws a screen pass to Kenneth Walker who gets drilled by Fred Warner after a gain of yard and the Seahawks go three and out.
5:52 First play of the drive, Brock Purdy fakes a hand off and throws a 76-yard touchdown pass to Deebo Samuel. Funny what the 49ers can do when Kyle Shanahan calls play action.
49ers 10, Seahawks 0.
5:56 The Seahawks fumble the kick return and the 49ers recover at the Seattle 29.
6:00 On 3rd and 4 from the Seahawks 23, Purdy scrambles to his left and throws the ball away. Then Wright makes a 41-yard field goal.
49ers 13, Seahawks 0.
6:06 On 3rd and 3 from the 37, Geno Smith throws a terrible pass off his back foot that sails over the head of Jaxon Smith-Njigba running a shallow cross. Geno Smith is just awful. The Seahawks punt and Jacob Cowing makes a fair catch at the 49ers 6. Should have let that one bounce into the end zone.
6:21 On 3rd and 11 from the 14, Purdy throws a screen pass to Kyle Juszczyk who loses three yards. Then Wright makes a 35-yard field goal. The 49ers are 1 for 8 in the red zone since Sunday. Good thing the Seahawks have been so generous tonight.
6:21 Jordan Mason left the game with a shoulder injury during that drive and his return is questionable.
49ers 16, Seahawks 0.
6:34 On 3rd and goal from the 2, D.K. Metcalf catches a pass in the back left corner of the end zone but lands with one toe out of bounds. Then the Seahawks make a 20-yard field goal. The 49ers will get the ball to start the second half.
49ers 16, Seahawks 3.
THIRD QUARTER
6:56 On 3rd and 3 from the 10, Brock Purdy throws a touchdown pass to George Kittle in the front right corner of the end zone. Jordan Mason returned for the first play of the drive and rushed for 8 yards, then left and did not return.
49ers 23, Seahawks 3.
6:59 Laviska Shenault Jr. returns the kickoff 96 yards for a touchdown. And just like that, the 49ers special teams let the Seahawks back in the game.
49ers 23, Seahawks 10.
7:07 On 3rd and 18 from the 49ers’ 35, Purdy throws a quick screen to Deebo Samuel who gains 15 yards. Then the 49ers punt and down the ball at the Seahawks’ 6-yard line.
7:16 On 2nd and goal from the 1, Kenneth Walker runs into the end zone for the touchdown. Isaac Yiadom gave up a 37-yard catch to Tyler Lockett on 3rd and 8 earlier in the drive.
49ers 23, Seahawks 17.
7:23 On 3rd and 10 from the 26, Purdy completes a 7-yard pass to Jauan Jennings and the 49ers go 3 and out. They ran zero times during that series. Never change, Kyle Shanahan.
FOURTH QUARTER
7:30 After the punt, the Seahawks take over at their 18. The 49ers burn a timeout and a challenge on the play.
7:34 On third and 10 from the Seahawks 30, Smith bravely throws the ball away. After the punt, the 49ers take over at their 11.
7:49 On 3rd and 9 from the Seahawks 40, Purdy forces a pass to Jennings that almost gets intercepted. After the punt, the Seahawks take over at their 3-yard line with 9:27 left.
7:54 On 1st and 18 from the Seahawks 17, Renardo Green intercepts Geno Smith and returns the ball to the Seattle 15.
7:57 On 3rd and 4 from the 9, Purdy throws a touchdown pass to George Kittle who falls into the end zone.
7:58 The 49ers go for two and the Seahawks jump offside.
7:58 Patrick Taylor runs up the middle and gains no yards. Two-point conversion no good.
49ers 29, Seahawks 17.
8:13 On 4th and goal from the 9, Renardo Green gives up a touchdown catch to Tyler Lockett with 1:44 left. The Seahawks still have all three of their timeouts.
49ers 29, Seahawks 24.
8:16 First play of the drive, Isaac Guerendo runs 76 yards and slides down at the 5-yard line.
8:19. Kyle Juszczyk scores a 6-yard touchdown run. The 49ers will win. Stay tuned for their grades.
49ers 36, Seahawks 24.
