How it unfolded
Kittle caught his first long touchdown to open the scoring at 7-0. Seattle answered with a Smith touchdown to make it 7-7. Kittle caught his second long TD before the half to push it to 14-7. The third quarter was Mason and the run game. Smith's late touchdown drive cut it to 14-13 but a missed Gould field goal (43 yards) then a Purdy third-and-1 scramble before the 2-minute warning let the 49ers run out the clock. Mason's 55-yard rush sealed it.
The turning point
Purdy's third-and-1 scramble before the 2-minute warning. With the 49ers needing to either convert or punt the ball back to Smith, Purdy got the first down himself. Mason's long rush ended it.
By the numbers
Purdy two long TDs to Kittle. Kittle two catches for 82 with both TDs. Mason 13 carries for 108 plus the 55-yard sealing run. Smith threw for 244 yards on 30 attempts with the late TD. The 49ers' defense generated three sacks.
Personnel watch
Purdy in his second NFL start, again successful. Mason carrying a heavier load as Elijah Mitchell was rotated. Kittle on the open looks the Seahawks coverage gave him. The defense, with Bosa generating pressure, did its part.
What it means
10-4 with the NFC West clinched and the streak now at seven. The Commanders come up at home on Christmas Eve. The Eagles and Cowboys both continue to lead the NFC.
