SEATTLE -- The San Francisco 49ers held on to defeat the Seahawks, 36-24.
In the run up to Thursday night, the 49ers stopped short of calling it a "must win" game.
Mathematically, at least, there's no such thing in Week 6 of the NFL season. But defensive end Nick Bosa and his teammates were clear in their assessment on Tuesday that this one was the closest thing possible given the circumstances.
At 2-3 overall and 0-2 in the NFC West division, a loss to the Seahawks wouldn't have buried the 49ers' season but it would have dug the hole plenty deep.
